Blueprint, a technology platform focused on improving mental health care delivery, has announced the successful completion of its $9 million Series A funding round. The round was co-led by Ensemble VC and Lightbank, with participation from Bonfire Ventures, Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, TAU Ventures, Data Tech Fund, and select angel investors.
Blueprint’s software provides mental health clinicians with actionable data and insights, enabling them to deliver higher-quality, personalized care in a more efficient manner. The platform has already benefited over 180,000 patients by improving access to enhanced mental health care.
The mission of Blueprint is to empower clinicians to provide high-quality care in less time, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and saving lives. The user-friendly software offered by Blueprint facilitates the adoption of measurement-based care, establishing a new standard for assessing treatment effectiveness. By leveraging data and insights, clinicians can optimize their treatment strategies, reduce burnout, and reach more patients.
Despite the United States having the highest number of mental health clinicians per capita, the country is facing an epidemic-level mental health crisis. A record-high 29% of adults have reported a lifetime diagnosis of depression, and while $280 billion was spent on mental health in 2020, only 13% of patients with access to care achieved lasting improvement.
Blueprint addresses this gap by providing clinicians with data-driven insights to inform their work and enhance patient outcomes. Through the platform, patients can provide feedback and perspectives on their therapeutic sessions, enabling clinicians to refine and tailor their treatment approach. As a result, patients using Blueprint experience treatment response times up to 44% faster compared to conventional mental health services.
Ensemble VC’s Managing Partner, Conrad Shang, expressed confidence in Blueprint’s ability to transform the way clinicians measure, track, and improve patient outcomes. The company’s significant impact on both clinicians and patients, combined with its potential to shape the future of mental health care, played a key role in the investment decision.
Since announcing its seed round in 2020, Blueprint has achieved rapid growth and made a substantial impact on improving access to high-quality mental health care. Currently, approximately 4,500 clinicians across 34 states are utilizing the platform.
With insights generated from over one million completed sessions, Blueprint has amassed one of the world’s largest multimodal mental healthcare datasets, equivalent to 10 million days of information.
The new funding will be utilized to support strategic hires in marketing, customer success, and engineering. Additionally, Blueprint aims to launch new products and features while driving nationwide adoption of measurement-based care among clinicians.
