Natick-Based College Mental Health Company Uwill Gets $30 Million In Funding

NATICK, MA — Natick-based EdTech company Uwill announced early this month that it completed a $30 million Series A funding round three years after its formation.

Uwill was founded in 2020 to assist campus counseling centers as mental health support for students became an increasing demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company says it serves over 1.5 million students across the world and has relationships with over 150 colleges. It has now established relationships with schools in all 50 states, including Dartmouth College, Florida Gulf Coast University and the University of Michigan, officials said.

"We built Uwill to provide students with immediacy, choice, and a frictionless experience to receive the mental health support they need in a way that works best for them," said Michael London, founder and CEO of Uwill.

The investment was funded by the private equity firm Education Growth Partners.

"We have been particularly impressed by the company's ability to work collaboratively with college leaders and existing mental health support to fill unmet needs on campus. Uwill's solution offers high value to colleges and, most importantly, to students at a time when mental health is of paramount importance," said Andy Kaplan, Managing General Partner at EGP.

"The astounding impact and growth that Uwill has achieved in a short period of time cannot be overstated."
