The startup's newest backers include Canaan Partners, City Light Capital and Baleon Capital, as well as Aligned Telehealth founder Dr. Nitin Nanda as a strategic angel investor. WHAT IT DOES Launched in 2018, Mantra bolsters colleges and universities' on-campus health resources with a "closed-loop" virtual mental health offering that aims to ensure continued support and follow-up. It consists of a telehealth app students use for text or video conversations with Mantra's affiliated provider group, a collaboration portal that campus health staff uses to monitor and refer students, and a proprietary EHR system that the company uses to track care across virtual visits and referrals.
