Mightier, a Boston, MA-based kids behavioral health company out of Boston Children’s Hospital, raised $6.6m in Series A funding.
The round, which brought total funding to more than $10.1m, was led by Foxkiser with participation from Asset Management Ventures, FundRx and existing investors including Founder Collective, Slow Ventures and Project 11.
The company intends to use the funds to grow the product, marketing, and engineering teams, and to invest in new consumer acquisition and engagement strategies.
Founded in 2016 out of Boston Children’s Hospital by Craig Lund, CEO, and Dr. Jason Kahn, Mightier offers a library of 25 bioresponsive video games to treat behaviors associated with emotional dysregulation to meet the different tastes and skills levels of kids aged 6-14.
