About
Alon Matas is a serial entrepreneur and healthcare-technology innovator best known for co-founding BetterHelp in 2013, a direct-to-consumer online therapy platform that has evolved into one of the world’s largest virtual mental-health services. As the company’s CEO and product architect he led the brand through rapid growth, unlocking access to therapy for millions and reshaping the future of digital mental health. With its acquisition by Teladoc Health in 2015, Alon gained deep insight into building healthcare businesses that combine tech, scale, and clinical validity.
Today Alon partners with founders in health-tech, consumer wellness, and platform medicine—helping them translate mission into business models, build defensible healthcare ventures, and prepare for acquisition.
“I built BetterHelp to make mental-health care everywhere, anytime, for everyone. Now I help other founders build healthcare platforms that truly scale and become acquisition-ready."
