[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Atomus, the operator of the mental care platform 'MindCafe,' announced on the 9th that it has secured a bridge investment worth 6 billion KRW from Lotte Healthcare and Samsung Venture Investment's 'strategic investment (SI) fund.' With this, the cumulative investment amount has increased to approximately 35 billion KRW.

This investment follows a Series B investment of 20 billion KRW made 10 months ago in early last year. Atomus explained that despite the investment market facing a severe downturn due to the economic recession, the company’s future value was recognized as it continues steady growth in sales and various indicators.

'MindCafe' boasts 1.5 million members and is solidifying its position in terms of monthly active users (MAU), number of experts, sales revenue, cumulative investment amount, and corporate value. Additionally, in the B2B and B2G markets, its employee mental health management program (EAP) has secured about 190 clients, including Samsung Electronics, Naver, Toss, Musinsa, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Recently, it also launched a community service for Japanese users.

Kim Gyutae, CEO of Atomus, stated, “Through strategic investment, we will accelerate the establishment of a mental health ecosystem based on the platform by strengthening online-offline linked businesses, expanding into non-face-to-face medical services specialized in mental illnesses, conducting R&D on mental healthcare technology, and advancing overseas.”
