01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Manatee, a Denver-based family mental health provider, delivers virtual therapy for children and teens alongside parent coaching, treating the whole family system rather than the child alone. Its evidence-based model combines licensed therapists, care navigators and an AI-supported family app with personalized 12-week care plans, and is covered by major US insurance plans. The company has raised over $11 million and acquired AI mental-health coaching company HappyPillar in 2025.
