Better U

What Better U does

Better U is a private, for-profit telehealth company founded in 2021 that operates as an alternative mental health and wellness platform with primary focus on at-home oral ketamine therapy delivered via telemedicine. The company is headquartered between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, employs 11–50 staff, and serves individual consumers across 35+ US states. Its clinical team includes providers trained at Stanford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Mayo Clinic, and care is supported by an in-house Better U Companion mobile application. Since inception, Better U has served approximately 16,000–20,000+ customers.

The product stack is anchored on a Direct Primary Care subscription priced at $150 per month, one-time ketamine therapy packages ranging from $500 to $2,076, and $100 per-session pricing. Beyond core ketamine therapy and integration coaching, Better U has expanded into holistic psychiatry, talk therapy, longevity treatments (NAD+, peptides), sexual health, ketamine pain cream, weight loss (GLP-1/Semaglutide), and hormone replacement therapy. A Therapist Partner Program with 100+ affiliated practices provides a B2B2C referral layer alongside direct-to-consumer marketing.

Better U generates revenue through a mix of recurring subscriptions, bundled ketamine packages, and per-session fees. The company raised a $330,202 funding round in May 2025 — the only disclosed capital event — and announced Hawaii operations in February 2026 as part of an ongoing state-by-state expansion. Revenue, gross margin, and active customer counts are not publicly disclosed, which limits valuation triangulation.
