Investors in complete human capability.
Evios is a company that focuses on mental health and wellness, investing in promising startups within this space since 2012. It has been influential in boosting several iconic companies such as Calm, BetterUp, Foresight Mental Health, and Grow Therapy. The company has a proprietary founder assessment process shaped by its extensive experience in talent management and private equity. This, coupled with its strong track record in delivering high returns, makes Evios a highly sought-after investor for mental health startups. The company is led by Matt, the Founder and CEO of Arche, a venture studio focused on mental health. His past success in growing Foresight into a major outpatient mental healthcare provider in the US is testament to his strategic acumen. Matt's main responsibilities at Evios include deal and founder assessment, mentoring founders post-investment, and leveraging his extensive network in the mental health sector to add value. Evios also benefits from the insights of Shivan, an advisor to mental health-focused startups and funds. With experience in the venture capital industry and a fellowship at Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, Shivan brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Nick, the founder of a full-stack digital marketing agency, is responsible for deal sourcing, due diligence, firm marketing, and operations at Evios. His hands-on approach also sees him assisting portfolio companies with their digital marketing efforts. The company's commitment to holistic wellness is further underscored by the involvement of Dr. Ahmad, a distinguished physician specializing in the treatment of bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and PTSD. He founded the Integrative Center for Wellness, which takes a comprehensive approach to mental health, combining pharmacological treatment, therapy, diet, and lifestyle modifications. His research on psychiatric co-morbidities related to obesity and metabolic disorder is indicative of Evios' broader focus on mental health and overall well-being.
