SAN FRANCISCO: Little Otter, a trailblazer in digital whole-family mental health care, has raised $9.5 million in a strategic funding round led by top-tier impact investors, including Pivotal Ventures, Torch Capital, Springbank, CRV, Next Legacy, G9, Gratitude Railroad, and Carrie Walton Penner's Fiore Ventures. This investment brings total funding to-date to $36.35 million, and cements Little Otter’s position as a defining leader in the rapidly growing billion-dollar family mental health market.

With this strategic round, the company is poised to scale its services to reach millions of families covered by Medicaid and commercial insurance plans. By leveraging an advanced AI-powered platform, Little Otter will enhance its ability to triage patients, connect families with personalized services, and deliver unmatched outcomes that address the needs of the whole family.

“Little Otter is leading a revolution in mental health care,” said Rebecca Egger, Co-founder and CEO. “This funding accelerates our mission to deliver the most effective, accessible care for families everywhere. Not only are we delivering care, but we are also pioneering new methods to make mental health support even more innovative and accessible for families in need.”

As part of its growth strategy, Little Otter is unveiling a brand refresh that demonstrates the company’s focus on providing quality care for every family—and every family member. The company's expansion and rebrand comes at a time when mental health challenges for children and families are increasingly prevalent. Through its personalized, evidence-backed care, Little Otter is redefining the landscape of mental health care for families nationwide.

“Today’s young people face unprecedented challenges that demand a fresh perspective on mental healthcare,” said Erin Harkless Moore Director, Investments at Pivotal Ventures. “Little Otter stands out through its clinical excellence across all levels of care from mild to severe, treating both young patients and their families. We’re excited to support their expansion and their AI-powered approach to scaling assessments – making quality mental healthcare more accessible across America.”

In addition to expanding its reach, Little Otter continues to lead with data-backed results that demonstrate the effectiveness of its approach. The company’s proven outcomes highlight its operational excellence and commitment to innovation in a market hungry for groundbreaking solutions. In 2024 alone, the company achieved 2.5x revenue growth and delivered over 56,000 care visits. Families consistently report significant clinical improvements, with 85% seeing progress in just six sessions and 71% of children experiencing remission of symptoms after 12 sessions. These results underscore the company’s ability to deliver meaningful and measurable change at scale.

“Little Otter’s impact is profound—by focusing on families as a whole, they are delivering the kind of mental health care that is long overdue,” said Carrie Walton Penner, founder of Fiore Ventures. “Their ability to blend AI-driven personalization with human-centered care is a game-changer, and I’m excited to support their journey in making high-quality mental health support more accessible nationwide.”

The company’s latest funding, groundbreaking technology, and established outcomes are propelling it to the forefront of family mental health care. The company remains dedicated to improving lives through holistic, data-driven care and is well on its way to shaping the future of a billion-dollar market.
