Allygatr invests in Lene Health

The mental health start-up from Hanover offers a platform for checking the mental health of employees.

HR tech venture capitalist Allygatr has invested in the Hanover-based start-up Lene Tech. Neither side disclosed the exact amount. Founded in 2022, the start-up offers a mental health platform for companies. It is designed to enable a mental health risk assessment of employees. With the help of online surveys, the company first records the respective stress situation in order to then make targeted recommendations for action to individual team members.

Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act oblige employers to identify potential psychological stress and derive appropriate measures from this. According to the start-up, many companies are unable to do this, which is why it wants to fill this gap. Lene Health's customers include the Gehrke Econ Group. According to the start-up, it is currently in talks with other potential customers.

In future, Lene Health wants to offer more targeted content so that companies can implement measures directly. "The proposed measures depend entirely on the work situation," says Kirsten Hollstein, co-founder and psychologist. "A hospital employee who works shifts has completely different needs than an employee who has an office job and sits in front of a laptop for eight hours."
