#24: The Resilience Lab x Options MD acquisition

Hi friends, 

Yesterday, Resilience Lab announced its acquisition of Options MD.

The initial reporting covered the high-level details of the acquisition.

But are we happy with high-level details on something this interesting?

Of course not!

I wanted to go deeper, looking closely at the backgrounds of each company, what this deal really means and what will happen next.

I’ve spent some time chatting with folks from both companies and today, I share what I’ve learned. 

We’ll cover;

• The TLDR; my take on this deal and what it means for both companies

• The Background: What you need to know about Resilience Lab and Options MD

• The Deal: Deal breakdown and how it aligns with Resilience Lab’s strategic vision

• The Future: What needs to happen to deliver real value from this deal (and some of the risks they’ll face)

Before we get into it, today is World Mental Health Day.

I have only one message and that’s I am incredibly thankful for everything you do to try an improve population mental health. It’s critically important work and while it mightn’t always feel like that, I promise you it’s true.

I think you are all wonderful humans for trying to help people live mental healthier lives.
