Alter Equity<\/a> and Bpifrance\u2019s Digital Venture fund are leading the Series A funding round. Existing investors Isai and Evolem are also investing once again in the startup.<\/p>\nTeale is a double-faceted platform. It can be seen as a perk for employees as many people believe their employers should provide some form of support when it comes to mental health. But it\u2019s also been designed so that HR managers can see when there\u2019s something wrong in the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission is really to ask ourselves what we can do to democratize mental health, destigmatize this topic and really put technology, data and science at the service of mental health, obviously to help employees, but also to build healthier organizations,\u201d Teale co-founder and CEO Julia N\u00e9el Biz told me.<\/p>\n
When your company sends you an email and tells you that you can use Teale for free, it means that any employee can download and install the app and start using it to better understand their mental health. And it starts with a survey that will be used to rate your mental health based on multiple criteria.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a proprietary index we created with our scientific advisory board and the psychologists who partner with our team. Our scientific advisory board is made up of psychiatrists and doctors of psychology. This index has been scientifically proven to be a good measure of mental health,\u201d N\u00e9el Biz said.<\/p>\n
After that, Teale will recommend content that could be relevant to your current situation. Teale has put together a large content library with 1,000 pieces of audio and video content on stress, sleep, burnout, bereavement, infertility, etc.<\/p>\n
And if that\u2019s not enough, you can also book an appointment with a psychiatrist or a doctor of psychology. That\u2019s an important feature as it can help you get started with a therapy when you don\u2019t really know where to start.<\/p>\n

Of couse, Teale doesn\u2019t want to act as a snitch that hands a list of employees who aren\u2019t doing well. Instead, the startup wants to give a broad overview of the current situation.<\/p>\n
At any point in time, the HR team can see if Teale is actively used in the company \u2014 how many people created an account, how many people requested an individual session, etc.<\/p>\n
And if there are more than 20 people in any business unit, department or country, Teale can indicate the average mental health score of this specific group. Some questions revolve around work load, management, the ability to disconnect, etc. Teale could be used to identify if a team is short-staffed or if there\u2019s something wrong with a manager.<\/p>\n
So far, around 100 companies have subscribed to Teale to grant access to the service to their own employees. Some clients include some big companies, such as Sanofi, SNCF, Cartier and EY. On average, 45% of the workforce use Teale. With today\u2019s funding round, the company will expand its team from 25 employees to 80 employees over the next 18 months. Teale also plans to expand to new countries.<\/p>\n
