Hurdle, an innovative digital mental health platform company, announced today it has successfully closed a $5 million Series Seed financing co-led by 406 Ventures and Seae Ventures with participation from F-Prime.

Established in 2018, Hurdle is a digital mental health platform revolutionizing mental health care by providing mental health services with a focus on culturally sensitive self-care support for People of Color.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, African Americans often receive poorer quality of care and lack access to culturally competent care. Only one-in-three African Americans who need mental health care receive it.

Hurdle is working to break down the barriers to mental healthcare for People of Color to create an equitable behavioral health service with culturally responsive care and resources.
