Allygatr invests in Lene Health

The mental health startup from Hanover offers a platform for checking the mental health of employees.

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

Sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act require employers to identify potential mental 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 step into this gap. Lene Health's customers include the Gehrke Econ Group. According to its own information, the start-up is in talks with other potential customers.

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