About Us

mello is a Y Combinator (S21) backed start-up that integrates wellbeing into every employees’ workflow in order to unlock their full potential. We are paving the path for the future of work.

As second time founders, we burnt out building our last company during the pandemic.

At mello, we’re building the new standard that remote and hybrid companies use to track, measure and act on burnout to inspire happier, healthier, more motivated teams. mello suggests smart actions for both employees, managers as well as HR to take to increase wellbeing, productivity and retention.
