Talks about the transaction began last autumn, and the final decision was made in the first half of this year. After the merger, the platforms will operate under the Hedepy brand and expand services for companies under the new Hedepy for Business brand. This will include therapy for employees, company mood measurement, webinars, and other educational content to improve mental well-being. HearMe will enhance these services with new local content and improved app functionality.
“We’ve been active in Poland for three years, helping thousands of people, and we now see strong demand from companies in particular. Acquiring HearMe is a strategic step for us. It allows us to specialize further in corporate care, while also offering HearMe’s clients access to our services abroad. These synergies make perfect sense to us. Equally important is that we align on a human level and share the same vision of what modern mental health care should look like, not only in companies,” says Lukáš Krčil, CEO and co-founder of Hedepy. At a time when employee well-being is becoming a corporate priority, this is a key milestone in the platform’s international growth.
The acquisition brings more than 80 new corporate clients and a team of over 120 professionals, including psychologists, psychotherapists, coaches, nutritionists, and physiotherapists. HearMe’s founders, Adam Radzki and Katarzyna Gryzło, are joining Hedepy’s leadership team. Adam Radzki will focus on business development in Poland as local Head of Sales, while Katarzyna Gryzło will lead B2B marketing for the entire Hedepy group.
“Merging with Hedepy is a logical step that opens doors to new markets while preserving the personal approach, high expertise, and quick accessibility, that our Polish clients value most. We considered several options but chose Hedepy because we share a similar company culture and a strong commitment to business with purpose,” says Katarzyna Gryzło, co-founder of HearMe.
The online psychotherapy platform Hedepy was founded in 2020 and expanded into eight other European countries, including Poland, within its first years. Originally focused on supporting individuals’ mental health, the platform has recently shifted to also helping companies.
After merging with HearMe, Hedepy plans to replicate this successful Polish model in other countries. “Poland was crucial for us as it’s the largest market in our region with a highly developed mental health sector. We also greatly value having Katarzyna and Adam join our team. Adam brings extensive experience in consolidating the CEE market, and Katarzyna has deep expertise in providing corporate mental health care,” adds Lukáš Krčil.
By the end of 2025, Hedepy aims to break even with projected GTV of €13 million and is planning a new investment round. “We are pleased that Hedepy continues to confirm its strong market position and prove it is moving in the right direction. The successful merger with the Polish platform has created a solid foundation for developing corporate services and paves the way for further acquisitions,” says Jan Davídek, partner at Purple Ventures, one of Hedepy’s regular investors.
Hedepy is already a market leader in online psychotherapy in Slovakia, Romania, and Greece, and ranks among the top providers in Slovenia, Hungary, Lithuania, and Ukraine. The platform currently works with around 1,000 therapists, who conduct hundreds of thousands of online sessions annually.
Looking ahead, Hedepy plans to combine online and in-person care and make greater use of artificial intelligence where possible. “AI represents a major technological advancement and is increasingly finding its place in mental health care. That makes it all the more important to approach its use thoughtfully and responsibly. This is exactly what we are working on now,” says Lukáš Krčil.
The platform’s mission remains to make professional help more accessible and faster, while preserving personal contact where it matters most.
