About Auntie

Founded in 2015 by Mervi Lamminen, Auntie is located in Helsinki, Finland. Auntie is a specialized psychological consulting company providing clients with prevention solutions for psychological issues that threaten their well-being. The concept includes Lost in Transition, Love Boat Sinking, and Sleepless in Seattle, making it very flexible and scalable for different organizations. By using digital tools, the company can monitor and measure the effectiveness of its services. The startup provides services in 20 other languages. The services of Auntie are already used by more than 300 pioneering organizations worldwide, and the extension of mind care benefits to employment relationships will be similar to lunch benefits.

What the founder has to say

“The Auntie team has already helped thousands of employees to feel better. Together with Verdane we want to create a working life where mind care is commonplace so that we can better cope in our daily lives. The funding will enable Auntie to help more people across Europe and will create purposeful job opportunities for mental well-being professionals,” said Mervi Lamminen, Founder and CEO at Auntie.

“Our goal is to gain a significant foothold on the international market and to support this, we are developing a unique digital platform for mental well-being services.
