Let’s talk about voice, not the kind belting out ballads or pitching the latest crypto coin, but the kind that Ellipsis Health has been quietly turning into a clinical superpower. Founded in 2017 by Mainul Mondal, a man who’s walked through healthcare, tech, defense, and didn’t need a map for any of it, Ellipsis Health is flipping silence into data, and conversation into care. At 118 2nd St in San Francisco, they’re not just working in mental health, they’re rewriting how we understand it, one vocal biomarker at a time.
Now, let’s get into it. Voice is personal, raw, and always on. And Ellipsis? They’ve built AI that listens, not just hears, listens, to turn 60 seconds of speech into a clinical-grade readout on depression, anxiety, even stress. While most folks are out here trying to decode your clicks and swipes, these guys are tuned into your tone, timing, and what’s unsaid in the said. It’s healthcare that doesn’t poke, prod, or wait. It’s instant insight, clinically validated, and HIPAA-compliant. You talk, Ellipsis listens, and suddenly, the invisible becomes a vital sign.
Back in August 2021, they locked in $26 million in Series A funding, yeah, not $44M, not $38M, let's get that straight. Led by SJF Ventures with heavy hitters like Marc Benioff’s Time Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Greycroft in the mix, Ellipsis isn’t just collecting checks, they’re building a war chest to tackle the global mental health crisis. From Cigna Healthcare and Headspace to Duke Cancer Institute, they’re already lacing the industry with partnerships. This isn’t a proof-of-concept; it’s proof-in-action.
Mainul and his team of 47 aren’t playing small ball. 2 million labeled minutes of speech, 50% reduction in admin overhead for providers, and they’re just getting started. They’re pushing to expand this voice vital sign into kid’s mental health, aiming to dismantle stigma and meet a mental health system already stretched 30,000 psychiatrists thin. Mondal? He’s not just the CEO, he’s a Nasdaq Milestone Maker, a World Economic Forum member, and probably the only guy in the room who can pivot from defense strategy to clinicalAI without breaking a sweat.
Ellipsis Health doesn’t need to shout to be heard. They let the data do the talking, and in a world that’s finally learning to listen, that might just change everything.
