Overview

Uwill is a Natick, Massachusetts–based provider of mental health and wellness solutions for colleges and students. Its core offering is a student and therapist matching platform that pairs students with licensed counselors based on preferences and supports all teletherapy modalities, a direct crisis connection, wellness events, real-time data, and ongoing support. The platform combines proprietary technology with an in-house counselor team. Uwill partners with more than 150 institutions, including Boston College, University of California Santa Barbara, American Public University System, and the University of Maryland, College Park. Led by CEO and founder Michael London, the company raised $30M in a Series A led by Education Growth Partners. It plans to use the funding to accelerate growth and expand student support across its campus customers. Uwill operates a gig-economy teletherapy platform that lets college students evaluate, match with, and connect to mental health professionals on demand. The service supports a full suite of communication modalities — video, text, phone, email, and chat — and the company says it is the only secure teletherapy platform offering all of these. Uwill leverages machine learning to help students identify and connect with counselors who match their preferences, and offers flexibility in scheduling and communication style. The product is positioned to address rising campus demand for mental health services, with the article noting increases in student anxiety and pandemic-related impacts on well-being. Uwill was founded and launched by veteran edtech entrepreneur Michael London, who previously led Examity and has multiple prior education-industry ventures. The company is partnering with colleges to complement on-campus resources and to provide remote, privacy-preserving access to therapy. Financially, Uwill announced a $3.25 million seed financing to support its development and operations.
