Mental health matters.

It's time to act.

1 in 5 people will develop a mental health condition. Millions more struggle.
Loneliness is rising, especially among youth.
Mental ill-health costs the EU €630B annually, exceeding cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, combined.
Unwell workforces see more turnover, absenteeism and disengagement. Ignoring mental health wastes capital.
Founders face 2-3x higher rates of depression and substance abuse. The current investment model sees founders as resources to be exploited, causing failure.

Let's build a new reality that unlocks human potential.

Imagine a thriving world.

The pandemic spotlighted our universal need for mental wellness. Startups addressing this $400B market are redefining health.

Masawa finances mental illness cures, mental wellness improvement, and the social determinants of mental health like sleep, nutrition, and loneliness.

Inner transformation enables outer change; flourishing mental health catalyzes solutions to social and environmental challenges.

Evolve venture capital.

Putting humans at the center.

VC can drive fast social change. But most of its potential is untapped.

65% of startups fail from people problems. Masawa's Nurture Capital approach focuses on organizational health and founder wellbeing to minimize risk.
