Mightier

What Mightier does

Mightier (operated by Neuromotion Inc.) is a Boston-based digital therapeutics company that builds a biofeedback-driven gaming platform for children ages 6-14 experiencing emotional dysregulation, including anxiety, ADHD, autism, anger, outbursts, and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). The platform consists of the Mightier Game App played on a tablet, a wearable Heart Sensor that streams real-time heart rate data into the gameplay, a Parent App for progress tracking and family resources, and monthly mailed Skill Packs of offline crafts, games, and stories that extend the curriculum outside the screen. The system was developed and clinically validated at Harvard and Boston Children's Hospital over more than a decade, with published outcome studies including school counseling programs in Brookline, MA and Quebec. The company claims 87% of families see positive behavior change in 90 days, 73% report less family conflict, and 68% report less stress.

The platform's commercial model is hybrid. Direct-to-consumer revenue comes from a recurring family subscription that bundles app access, the heart sensor hardware, and monthly Skill Packs, supported by a 90-day money-back guarantee. Institutional revenue is generated through a sales-led motion targeting four B2B segments: clinicians and mental health practices (Clinician Starter Kit for up to 4 clients and a Custom Program for 5+ clients with HIPAA Business Associate Agreement availability), K-12 schools (site licensing plus mental health curriculum and send-home materials), health plans (Mightier offered as a covered pediatric mental health benefit), and employers (offered as an employee benefit supporting working parents, with cited $300-$600+ per-employee-per-year savings). HIPAA compliance is a documented requirement across clinical and health plan channels. Total lifetime funding is $29 million, including a $17 million Series B closed in December 2021 led by DigiTx Partners with participation from Sony Innovation Fund and PBJ Capital, plus a $2 million NIMH grant in February 2021. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Craig Lund, with co-founder Jason Kahn serving as Chief Science Officer and co-founder Trevor Stricker as VP of Technology.

Core offering

Children wear the heart sensor while playing games; their physiological arousal level is integrated into gameplay so practicing calming strategies directly affects in-game outcomes and rewards. The company also offers separate clinical programs (Stinician Starter Kit, Custom Program) for mental health practitioners and institutional licensing for schools, health plans, and employers.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a scaled mental health benefits platform sold to employers, with growing pediatric and family offerings. It competes for the same employer benefit dollars as Mightier but offers a much broader therapy and coaching catalog rather than a single-product platform.
• Spring Health: Spring Health is a mental health benefits platform sold to enterprises, with expanding pediatric and family care offerings. It overlaps with Mightier in employer benefit channels and represents an incumbent risk to single-product pediatric platforms.

Emerging players

• Wysa: Wysa is an AI-driven mental health chatbot app that includes teen/young-adult content and is sold through health plans and employers. It overlaps with Mightier in payer channels and digital mental health positioning, though its modality (chatbot CBT) is different.
• Calm (Calm Kids): Calm offers family and kids content for sleep and anxiety, sold via subscription and employer benefits. It is a competing mindfulness-for-kids consumer app that targets an adjacent slice of Mightier's pediatric emotional wellness market.
• Little Otter: Little Otter is a pediatric mental health platform combining clinician services, family coaching, and digital tools for children up to age 14. It targets a near-identical pediatric emotional regulation population via a hybrid clinical + digital model.
• SuperBetter: SuperBetter is a game-based mental resilience and emotional well-being app built on positive psychology and CBT principles. It overlaps with Mightier in using game mechanics to drive emotional and mental health outcomes.
• Headspace (Headspace for Kids): Headspace offers a children's mindfulness and emotional well-being subscription, targeting families and employer benefits. While broader in scope and consumer-grade rather than clinically validated, it competes for the same parental mental health wallet share and employer benefit slots.

Direct peers

• Akili Interactive (EndeavorRx): Akili Interactive is the closest direct peer: an FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic video game (EndeavorRx) for children with ADHD. Both companies sell game-based pediatric mental health interventions validated through clinical trials, targeting overlap of the same payer and clinician channels.
• Cogmed (Pear Therapeutics): Cogmed offers a working-memory training program delivered through digital exercises for children with attention and self-regulation challenges. It is a comparable digital cognitive/behavioral training platform sold through clinicians and healthcare channels.

Others

• BetterHelp / Teen Counseling: BetterHelp and its Teen Counseling brand provide teletherapy services for adolescents, often reimbursed through employer benefits and health plans. They are an adjacent substitute rather than a direct competitor, but compete for the same pediatric mental health benefit spend.
