Prospira Global

What Prospira Global does

Prospira Global is a specialist advisory and diagnostic firm founded in 2021 by Elisha London, headquartered in the United Kingdom (registered office in Hemel Hempstead), that operates at the intersection of mental health, business, capital, and impact. The firm is built around a focused core team of approximately 19 staff supported by a curated global network of consultants and senior advisors spanning more than 100 countries, and serves global companies, corporate foundations, philanthropists, family offices, impact investors, and mission-led institutions. Service offerings are organized into four practice areas: Strategic Diagnostics, Global Financing Advisory, Strategy & Impact Design, and Research & Reporting.

The firm does not develop software or technology products; its core technology is a diagnostic methodology that combines client priorities with landscape insight to identify where mental health matters most in an organization's work and where action can create the greatest value and impact. Underlying intellectual property includes a library of proprietary research reports — the annual Global Mental Health Financing Insights series (The Power of Giving, From Momentum to Maturity 2025), the Mental Health Integration for Impact report developed for Wellcome, and the multi-year Women and Girls Mental Health research series with Kate Spade New York — together with a curated expert network drawn from WHO, Harvard, Duke, Unilever, Lansdowne Partners, and leading global mental health practitioners.

Prospira generates revenue through bespoke advisory and consulting engagements on a professional-services basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed and structured as customized projects. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by the founder's network, senior advisor relationships, and presence in high-profile forums including the World Economic Forum, UN General Assembly, and Women Deliver. Named engagements include advisory work with Zoom, Paramount Global, Pinterest, Lansdowne Partners, Kate Spade New York, Cotton On Foundation, Wellcome, and ICONIQ Impact; the firm has reported helping catalyze over $250 million in new global mental health financing since 2021 and is the technical advisor behind the $200 million Youth Mental Wellbeing Co-Lab launched with ICONIQ Impact in March 2025.
