TL;DR
Ellie Mental Health has received a strategic investment from Princeton Equity Group to support its growth across the United States. The investment will help Ellie expand its corporate and franchise businesses, providing high-quality mental health services to communities across the country.
Founded in 2015 by Erin Pash and Kyle Keller, Ellie employs 215 clinicians and serves approximately 20,000 patients on an annual basis across its 20 clinics. Pash, Chief Executive Officer, and Keller, Chief Clinical Officer, will continue to lead the business in its campaign to build the most accessible mental health platform in the country.
“The partnership with Princeton will help facilitate the next chapter of our growth as we expand our corporate and franchise businesses,” Erin Pash said. “This investment could not have come at a more opportune time given the country’s mental health crisis and the inaccessibility of quality mental health treatment.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Erin and Kyle to foster continued growth at Ellie,” said Doug Kennealey, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Princeton. “The Ellie team has a track record of delivering superb patient outcomes and improving accessibility for mental health care, which has reached epidemic levels in our country. We look forward to partnering with the entire Ellie team to continue serving patients, clinicians, and franchisees across the country.”
Through this partnership, Princeton will provide Ellie with additional resources to support the expansion of its corporate footprint. The combination of Princeton’s multi-unit and franchise knowledge and Ellie’s clinical expertise will help the company to deliver on its mission to provide high-quality mental health services and resources to communities across the country.
