Unfortunately, there is no way to rewrite the past. However, with the continuous advancements in technology, a fresh tide of trailblazers with the potential to create millionaires has emerged.
Investors who track the growth of these innovators into their IPOs stand the best chance for exponential returns. So ride the wave of opportunity with us, and watch these names explode…

In the ever-evolving landscape of workplace dynamics, the spotlight has shone resolutely on mental health and worker well-being, catalyzed by the pandemic’s transformative impact on remote work trends. With a keen eye on the tight labor market, where optimal employee productivity stands as a vital linchpin, employers are increasingly channeling their focus toward addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and the looming specter of burnout. Stepping into this narrative is Spring Health, a herald of the new generation of mental health providers poised to extend their support to employers and health plans.
Spring Health’s journey began as an academic research endeavor at Yale University. From there, it transformed into something truly remarkable. Armed with clinically validated data, Spring Health emerged as a force to reckon with. They’re tapping into the precision medicine trend, leveraging their platform to deliver exactly what each person needs. Whether it’s meditation, coaching, therapy, medication, or a mix of these, they’re all about personalized solutions.
April Koh, the co-founder, and CEO, has a powerful story behind this approach. After witnessing loved ones struggling with different providers, programs, and medications without success, she decided to take a bold, data-driven route. And you know what? She’s absolutely onto something. In her own words, “Every setback chips away at one’s courage and hope. In five to ten years, the landscape of mental health care will undergo a paradigm shift. It will evolve from the realm of uncertainty to one marked by precision, driven by data, tailored to each individual,” as she shared on the company’s website.
In the here and now, Spring Health has seamlessly woven its expertise into the fabric of over 800 companies spanning startups to global Fortune 500 stalwarts, counting General Mills, Bain, and Instacart among its beneficiaries. Notably, 2022 witnessed its portfolio welcoming the likes of Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, and Trinity Health. The acquisition of the family wellness platform Weldon, unveiled in May, was a strategic stride to offer more holistic services, touching aspects such as sleep, behavior, conflicts, grief, developmental challenges, and neurodiversity within families. The canvas of its influence expanded across 40 countries and 20 languages, and the company raised $71 million in April, constituting a quarter of its overall capital raised.

Launched: 2015

Relativity Space has made its mark by launching a 3D-printed rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, this March. While the initial test flight didn’t quite reach orbit, this space startup isn’t slowing down. Their mission? To revolutionize rocket manufacturing, making it cheaper and faster for upcoming journeys to the moon and Mars.
Billionaire investor and entrepreneurial virtuoso Mark Cuban has backed Relativity since its initial funding in 2016, extending his patronage in successive funding rounds. This symphony of support harmonizes with the backing of Tiger Global, BOND, and Fidelity Research and Management, all conducted under the baton of Relativity Space’s magnetic allure. In a crescendo of investment, the startup resonated with a $650 million raise in its fifth funding cycle during June 2021, magnifying its valuation to the exalted echelons of $4.2 billion.
While Relativity Space’s spotlight spans from commercial pioneers to the resolute arm of the U.S. government, the apex of recognition comes courtesy of NASA. In 2022, this pioneering entity penned a twenty-year partnership with NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, unfurling a new chapter in growth.
