NEW YORK CITY — Happify Health, the pioneer in combining evidence-based emotional health interventions with engagement and gaming technology, announced today a $9 million funding round led by TT Capital Partners (“TTCP”) with participation from existing investors. This investment will allow Happify Health to continue the expansion of its digital platform that provides clinically tested, highly personalized behavior change interventions for use across the emotional health continuum.

“Happify Health’s early and continued success is built on a strong foundation serving both individual and enterprise clients,” said Dawn Owens, Partner at TTCP.  “We look forward to collaborating with the strong management team as Happify Health expands and delivers a compelling solution proving the importance of emotional health in overall health and wellbeing.”

Based on decades of scientific research in cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness and neuroscience, Happify Health’s digital intervention platform provides more than 60 programs and over 2,500 activities that use evidence-based science, unparalleled engagement strategies, software and gamification to improve access, deliver emotional health outcomes and significantly reduce costs. Happify Health’s programs were created in conjunction and collaboration with leading scientific experts in each domain of life.

With this investment, Happify will increase infrastructure support for its growing business, continue research in real-world interventions, and continue to enhance and expand the Happify platform.

“As a healthcare industry leader, TTCP’s support marks a significant confirmation of Happify Health’s platform as the leading solution for digital engagement and behavior change,” said Dr. Andrew Sekel, Happify Health Chairman and former CEO of OptumHealth Specialty Networks. “This investment will allow us to continue advancing research and technology development and expanding the company’s work within healthcare and enterprise settings.”
