Mental health continues to be a hot topic post-pandemic. 40% of U.S. adults struggle with their mental health, and companies are showing their support by increasing their employee mental health benefits. In the past year alone, 30% of employers have already made mental health a top priority for their workforce - but many employees still feel as though they need more support.

By 2030, the cost of mental illness is projected to exceed $6T annually. As a result, companies are reevaluating their employee benefits in order to offer better solutions with more efficient support and care.

The search-as-a-service platform, Algolia, enables companies of all sizes to deliver fast and relevant digital experiences that drive results. Algolia puts effort into taking care of their employees by offering them free 1:1 care with licensed mental health providers. During the pandemic, the company also offered optional “Listening Circles” as a safe space for employees to share their thoughts and struggles.

Pinterest has taken on its own approach to employee well-being. In 2020 the company created an internal community called “Pinside Out”, which serves as a forum for employees to discuss mental health, they also host wellness-focused events for employees bringing in experts to speak on a range of mental health topics.

Modern Health is a platform that provides mental health services to companies for their employees. Their mission is to destigmatize mental health care, break down barriers to access, and give employees the support they need to succeed. Of course, they also offer incredible mental health benefits to their own team - making it no surprise that 95% of their employees agree that Modern Health is a great place to work.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
