London, the U.K-based provider of a platform digitizing the Mental Health Act, Thalamos raised USD 1 million in seed funding. The seed round took place on September 1, 2022. Conduit Impact EIS Fund, managed by Ascension, backed the company. Angel investors, including Syndicate Room and a private Seedrs, crowdfund, also joined in the investment.

As a part of the deal, Hadley Diest, Investment Manager at Ascension, will serve Thalamos’ board as an independent advisor.

Purpose of investment for Thalamos

With the latest round of seed funding, the company intends to ramp up its hiring operations. It seeks to expand its team size. Meanwhile, Thalamos has plans to strengthen its product offering. 

What the founder has to say

Arden Tomison, the founder of Thalamos, said, “When an individual is sectioned under the Mental Health Act, they are in need of urgent treatment and support. Delays in accessing this can severely hamper recovery. The completion of the Mental Health Act forms is an essential legal process. It ensures patients receive the right treatment safely. As demand for acute mental health care rises, the current paper-based system piles an unnecessary administrative burden on clinicians’ plates, reducing their already limited capacity. This ultimately slows down access to treatment for patients and exacerbates growing pressures on services.”

He further said, “At Thalamos, we’re working closely with mental health care providers across England. We seek to deliver a fully digitized solution which makes access to acute care swifter, simpler and safer. This is helping practitioners speed up the arrangement of patient admission, treatment and transfer while increasing data security and care quality. We’re so grateful to our amazing group of investors for supporting us to expand our work to optimize the care accessed and received by a growing number of mental health care patients.”

What the investor has to say

Hadley Diest, Investment Manager at Ascension, said, “Acute mental health care is an immense challenge in the UK – it is both traumatic for patients and hugely time-consuming and disjointed for the various stakeholders providing care. Thalamos’ groundbreaking digital workflow tool enables those involved in patient intake, treatment, discharge and ongoing support to work together more seamlessly than ever before, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient collaboration between the NHS, police, care providers and regulators.”

Hadley added, “Further, as digital health is a focus area for the Conduit EIS Impact Fund, Thalamos represents a strong addition to our portfolio of companies that are both mission-driven and highly scalable in equal measure; Ascension and Conduit Connect look forward to supporting Arden and his superb team and advisors on this next stage of their growth within acute mental health and beyond.”
