Headspace

Headspace is a mental wellness company founded in 2010 by Andy Puddicombe and Rich Pierson that has grown into one of the most widely used mindfulness and meditation apps globally. The platform offers guided meditation sessions, sleep content, stress reduction exercises, and mental fitness programs for both individual consumers and enterprise employees through its Headspace for Work product. Headspace merged with Ginger, a mental health coaching and therapy platform, in 2021 to form Headspace Health, expanding from mindfulness content into clinical mental health services. The combined platform provides a continuum from self-guided wellness content through human-delivered coaching and therapy, serving both consumers and employers who want comprehensive mental health benefits. Headspace for Work serves over 4,000 employer customers providing evidence-backed mental wellness programs to millions of employees globally. The company has published research demonstrating measurable improvements in stress, burnout, and resilience from Headspace use. Following the merger, Headspace has integrated its consumer brand recognition with Ginger's clinical platform to serve the full spectrum of mental health needs.
