Clearly Raises $1.35M to Scale AI Therapy Platform From Ukraine to the World
Seed funding led by Purple Ventures will fuel expansion into the U.S. and Brazil and support development of a standalone AI therapy model.
KYIV, Ukraine — 9 July 2025
Ukrainian-founded mental health platform Clearly has raised $1.35 million in seed funding to enhance its proprietary AI therapy solution and expand into international markets, including Brazil and the United States. The round was led by Czech-based Purple Ventures, with participation from Pragmatech Ventures and angel investor Dmytro Orel. The total includes $150,000 in non-dilutive grant funding.
Founded in 2021 by Ukrainian entrepreneurs Dmytro Marakhovskyi and Dmytro (Dima) Kovalenko, Clearly integrates live therapy with licensed professionals, 24/7 AI companions, and is finalizing a fully autonomous AI therapy product. The company is registered in Delaware, with operational roots in Ukraine and active markets in Poland and Spain.
The platform currently facilitates more than 20,000 therapy sessions per month, generates over $600,000 in monthly revenue, and has maintained profitability. More than 1,000 certified therapists work with Clearly, and the company reports a growing waitlist of professionals seeking to join.
Clearly’s founders did not issue a public statement in connection with this round. However, the company’s platform strategy — blending AI with human therapists — reflects a clear ambition: to deliver personalized, scalable mental health care for global users.
Purple Ventures, which led the round, cited Clearly’s combination of growth, profitability, and social impact as a rare alignment of mission and business.
“Clearly offers a modern tech-driven solution with the potential to make psychological care widely accessible,” said Jan Staněk, Managing Partner at Purple Ventures, in a public statement. “Its profitability at the current growth rate and strong B2B model show that it’s not only a powerful mission but also an exceptionally attractive investment opportunity. We believe the mental health market has immense potential, which is why this is one of our largest investments.”
The specific size of Purple Ventures’ contribution has not been publicly disclosed, though several sources estimate it to be the majority share of the total round.
Clearly plans to allocate 25% of the new funds to research and development, with an ambition to double that investment in future rounds. A key focus is finalizing and launching its standalone AI therapy product, particularly for Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S.
The company operates under a dual B2B and B2C model, offering services for individuals as well as corporate wellness programs. Amid the global mental health market’s projected growth to $475 billion by 2027, Clearly’s hybrid approach — blending licensed care with AI automation — positions it as a scalable solution in both developed and underserved markets.
Founded in the run-up to one of the most turbulent chapters in Ukraine’s modern history, Clearly has grown into a cross-border operation with ambitions to become a category-defining mental health platform.
