The One Mind Accelerator backs bold and determined founders of early-stage startups with the network, education and capital to build category-defining companies that radically improve the lives of people facing mental health challenges.
Launched in 2023, the highly competitive program selects a cohort of 10-15 startups each year from hundreds of applicants. The companies span care model innovations to diagnostics and treatments, and are prioritized for serious mental illness, youth mental health, maternal mental health, and precision psychiatry.
Designed from the ground up with a specific focus on mental health, the selected founders participate in ten weeks of programming, with in-person opening and closing weeks in Menlo Park, CA. The program leverages One Mind’s vast and influential network of leaders and domain experts to help the startups take their innovations to market faster and with greater impact for people facing mental illness.
Supported by leading philanthropists and corporations, the One Mind Accelerator seeks to usher in a new era of value-based, affordable, accessible, equitable and personalized mental healthcare.

Jacob Robinson, PhD
Co-Founder & CEO, Motif Neurotech
The One Mind Accelerator was very personalized to what we needed, the stage that we were in, and what we needed for success. Early strategy sessions with the OMA team actually got us very quickly to focus.
Supriya Laknidhi
Founder & CEO, Cerula Care
The One Mind Accelerator has been a game-changer for us, filling gaps we couldn’t have tackled on our own with their team and expertise. They provided access to crucial contacts and knowledge in areas we had no access to.
