Warren Foundation, and RRE Ventures, agreed to acquire Alma from Able Partners, BoxGroup, First Round Capital, Primary Venture Partners, Rainfall Ventures, Sound Ventures, Tusk Venture Partners, Insight Partners, Optum Ventures, Cigna Ventures, and Thoma Bravo. Alma provides a technology-driven platform that simplifies access to mental health therapy through a comprehensive directory of licensed therapists. Clients can find in-network providers who accept various insurance plans, reducing the cost of therapy sessions. The platform is designed to cater to a diverse client base, including those who require specialized support such as LGBTQIA+ guidance and medication management, while ensuring a safe environment for therapeutic relationships.

Alma's revenue model is based on a business-to-consumer approach, where clients connect with in-network therapists who accept different insurance plans. Clients typically contribute a copay per session, which is significantly lower when using Alma's network. The company partners with multiple insurance providers, facilitating affordable therapy options that align with clients' existing plans, thereby enhancing the connection between service users and healthcare professionals. The January 2026 acquisition enables Spring Health to create a stronger business through deeper connections with employers, insurers, and providers.
