Live Longer or Live Better?

A March 2025 UBS report projects the longevity market to grow from $5.3 trillion in 2023 to $8 trillion by 2030. Just as important as the size of the opportunity is the shift in the conversation: from lifespan to healthspan.

Talkspace Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

Talkspace closed 2025 with strong results. Revenue grew 22% year over year to $228.9M, exceeding expectations. Growth was driven primarily by payer revenue, which increased 38%, while consumer revenue declined approximately 29%, reinforcing the continued shift toward reimbursement-based models.

Profitability also moved in the right direction. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $15.8M, up from $7.0M in 2024, and full-year net income reached $7.8M, representing a meaningful year-over-year improvement.

Taken together, these signals point to a broader shift: brain and mental health platforms gain real traction when embedded in clinical care and reimbursement systems, not just direct-to-consumer channels.

Market funding data points in a similar direction. According to Neurotech Futures’ 2025 Funding Snapshot, capital continues to flow into neuro health, with increasing focus on companies that can demonstrate clinical adoption, payer alignment, and durable economics, not just promising science.
