Our story
We didn't build MyAtlas because we saw a market. We built it because we felt the gap.
Every person on this team has lost someone to mental health. That's not a founding story we chose. It's the one that chose us.
Why we're here.
We all met at Northeastern University, a group of people who, without knowing it at the time, shared the same wound.
Each of us had watched someone we loved struggle inside a mental health system that kept them in care without getting them better. Each of us had felt the particular helplessness of watching someone disappear slowly, in plain sight, while the system designed to help them kept asking them to come back next week.
We lost people. Not abstractions. People we knew, people we loved, people whose absence still shapes how we move through the world.
What we're here to do
To make continuous behavioral care the standard, by building the intelligence layer for the 167 hours between sessions.
The team
The people building it.
Nita Akoh
Founder & CEO
Background in behavioral neuroscience. Before founding MyAtlas, worked at the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health using fMRI neurofeedback to reduce auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia, and as a life science consultant at IQVIA and Putnam Associates. BHT Top Young Innovator in Behavioral Health. Halcyon Fellow.
She built MyAtlas from personal loss and the conviction that the system is fixable, and that the fix starts with giving people a finish line.
Mofe Kayode
Co-Founder & CTO
2x founder with a successful acquisition and a decade at Google. The architect of the platform, the person who took a vision for what behavioral health technology could be and made it real, scalable, and defensible.
He builds things that last.
Dr. Aarti Sathyanarayana, PhD
Chief Science Officer
Assistant Professor at Northeastern University, jointly appointed in the College of Health Sciences and College of Computer Science. Director of the SATH Lab. Affiliate at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and MGH/Harvard Medical School. Past: Apple, Intel, Mayo Clinic. PhD in Computer Science, University of Minnesota, Doctoral Dissertation Award.
She is the scientific foundation that MyAtlas is built on, and the reason every claim we make is one we can defend.
Nicole Matimu
Chief of Product
Neuroscience background. Product intuition built from years of understanding how the brain actually works, not just how users behave. The reason MyAtlas feels like it was designed for humans, not for a use case.
She translates science into experience.
Marc Meyer
Head of Growth
Robert J. Shillman Professor of Entrepreneurship at Northeastern University. Founded the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group and helped build one of the country's top venture programs.
His work centers on how new products find their market. He brings that to scaling MyAtlas from first partners to category.
Advisors
The people behind us.
Roy Liu
Hercules Capital
Strategic advisor on growth, capital structure, and the path from pilot to scale.
Felipe Jain
Harvard Psychiatry
Academic and clinical advisor whose research shapes how MyAtlas thinks about outcomes, measurement, and evidence.
Shea Tate Di Donna
Advisory Board
Strategic advisor bringing deep expertise in behavioral health innovation and organizational growth.
What we believe about mental health care.
We believe behavioral health has a missing layer. Care happens in the one hour a week a patient is with a clinician. Decompensation happens in the other 167. MyAtlas is built around that fact.
We believe the clinician's work is the work. The Clinical Intelligence Layer doesn't replace it. It feeds it. We build for clinicians who already know what to do, and we give them more of the picture to do it with.
We believe early signal is the work, too. Drift is detectable before crisis. Patterns shift before patients disappear. A layer that watches the hours in between catches what the session alone cannot.
We believe data should serve the person it describes. The behavioral signal MyAtlas reads belongs to that patient. Every output flows toward better care for them, not toward keeping them engaged with us.
We believe the only credible technology in this field is built with the institutions that set the standard. Cancer centers, universities, research labs. We don't build in isolation. We build with the people whose names are on the door.
