Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We make it easy for people to find quality in-network mental health care by removing historic barriers faced by mental health providers, payers, and patients. 1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the vast majority do not get the care they need. The primary reason is cost: the majority of therapists do not accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is prohibitively expensive for prospective patients. This is where we got our start – Headway has built the first software-enabled network of therapists who accept health insurance, making it easy for therapists to grow their practices, and possible for patients to find quality care they can afford. Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 34,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation. We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience. Headway employees work remotely across the US, with the option to work from our NYC HQ. Headway is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, Headway will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodations. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and/or to receive other benefits and privileges of employment, please contact talent@findheadway.com.

We help startups and small businesses extend their runways by connecting them with government stimulus programs, tax credits, and hiring incentives. Whew, that’s a mouthful. In simpler terms, we help founders find cash they didn’t know they were owed. Navigating government tax credits and incentives is no easy task. Founders and business owners rarely have the bandwidth, time, or resources to pursue these programs and as a result, billions of dollars are left on the table. That’s where we come in. We take the guesswork out of government and pass the cash savings onto small businesses. But before we dive into how it works, let’s talk about the team that makes it all happen. This isn’t our first rodeo. Our founders are ex-Google employees and successful tech startup founders. Doug Ludlow, co-founder and CEO, started MainStreet as a response to the massive impact that departing big business brought on his hometown. The small businesses that remained didn’t survive for long and the economy declined along with them. This is the unfortunate truth for towns across the U.S., where many small businesses lack resources and struggle to stay afloat. At MainStreet, we want to be the small business lifeline that makes a long-standing impact on our economy. And we won’t stop until we’ve helped every small business. The IRS bookmarks $150B in annual tax credits and incentives for U.S. companies researching and developing new products (aka “R&D”). These incentives are impactful, but they’re also complex and time-consuming. Small business owners just don’t have the capacity to cut through the red tape and claim the cash they’re owed. That’s where we come in. We plug directly into their payroll software to see what they’re owed across dozens of credits. We take the guesswork out of government and pass the savings back to our customers. The best part? The average venture-backed startup finds $51,040 on their first call with us.
