Overview

Mine'd operates an emotional health platform that connects users to medical experts rather than just offering advice like many apps. The company was founded to address the high cost of traditional therapy and to provide a safer peer space amid the creator economy. Co-founder Aaron Albert has described building Mine'd from his own experience improving emotional health. The platform is positioned as an alternative to wellness apps by enabling real conversations with professionals. The article highlights the company's mission in the context of growing pandemic-related mental-health pressures but does not disclose operating metrics or detailed future-product roadmaps. Mine'd bills itself as “The World's First Emotional Network,” a digital platform that connects users with top emotional-wellness experts via daily live sessions, on-demand classes, and community interaction. The core product combines live and archived video content, moderated conversations, and expert-led programming across topics such as relationships, sex, money, purpose, and spirituality. Founders Mark Groves and Aaron Albert vet experts against four pillars—credibility, alignment, representation, and entertainment—and include contributors like Mark Groves, Dr. Alexandra Solomon, and Sylvester McNutt. Developed beginning in 2019 and launched in August 2020, the app was offered free for the first 18 months and now operates on monthly and annual membership plans granting access to each expert’s library. To date Mine'd has raised $650k from angels and Techstars and shows early engagement: over 80k downloads, more than 1M videos watched, over 200k live comments, and an average daily user session of about 1 hour 15 minutes. Planned product updates include expert-specific communities, real-time audio “on-stage” sessions, and daily short-form “Mine’d Minutes” audio content to increase one-to-many access to experts.
