Clearly, an international mental health platform founded in Ukraine and now one of the fastest-growing players in online therapy, has raised $700,000 from Purple Ventures to continue developing its unique AI model and expand into new markets. Clearly, headquartered in Delaware, has secured a total of $1.35 million in seed funding from investors.

Clearly uses advanced artificial intelligence to provide personalized psychological care for individuals and businesses. The platform combines video sessions with licensed therapists, 24/7 AI companions, and standalone AI therapy. This enables it to offer accessible and effective mental health solutions, including employee wellness programs and burnout analysis.

“The mental health market is undergoing a major transformation. Its global value is expected to exceed $475 billion by 2027, with significant growth projected. Clearly offers a modern tech-driven solution with the potential to make psychological care widely accessible. Its profitability at the current growth rate and strong B2B model show that it’s not only a powerful mission but also an exceptionally attractive investment opportunity. We believe the mental health market has immense potential, which is why this is one of our largest investments,” says Jan Staněk, Managing Partner at Purple Ventures.

Clearly was founded by two Ukrainian entrepreneurs shortly before the war began. Despite extremely challenging conditions, the company has not only survived but become a market leader in Ukraine and expanded to countries such as Poland and Spain, while preparing to enter major international markets like Brazil and the U.S. Each month, it facilitates over 20,000 therapy sessions and generates more than $600,000 in revenue—while remaining profitable.

“I believe mental health is the foundation of all health. With the technologies available today, we have the means to make the world healthier—and therefore happier,” says Dmytro Marakhovskyi, one of Clearly’s founders.

Clearly is currently finalizing the development of its standalone AI therapy solution and preparing to launch services for the Spanish-speaking community in the U.S. A quarter of its funds go into research and development, with plans to double this proportion with the new capital. The company combines the best of human care and AI capabilities. Clearly currently works with over 1,000 active therapists worldwide, with an extensive waitlist of professionals eager to join the platform, it has a strong base for rapid expansion and aims to transform the global mental health landscape using today’s technology and advances in psychotherapy—to make the world healthier, and therefore happier.

The lead investor in this funding round was the Brno-based fund Purple Ventures. Also participating was Pragmatech Ventures, founded by entrepreneurs with a focus on emerging technologies, with investments including Ellio and Neurons Lab. Angel investor Dmytro Orel also joined the round, and $150K is from non-equity grants.
