‍Sançar Sahin, is the Co-Founder and CMO of Oliva Health.
After working in high-growth tech startups both co-founders had struggled with their own mental health and had negative experiences when it came to finding suitable support. The private and public mental healthcare options have a number of associated challenges, so Sancar and his co-founder create Oliva Health to solve this problem.
With people giving a large chunk of their lives to work and work often being a cause of mental health issues, Oliva see a huge opportunity for employers to take more responsibility in supporting their employees with their mental health. Â
Oliva focuses on providing people with support for all mental health needs whilst also helping them to build up their emotional resilience. They also care about creating a platform that supports therapists and their needs too.
