19 million users. 10 years of work. One 8-figure exit. When Seph Fontane Pennock and Hugo Alberts built PositivePsychology, it wasn’t meant to be a business. It started as a blog born out of frustration with the lack of credible, science-backed resources for mental health professionals. But it didn’t stay small for long. As the demand for credible, science-backed resources grew, so did the platform. What started as a handful of blog posts turned into a comprehensive content library, productized tools, and a global audience of therapists, educators, and mental health professionals. The platform’s growth was steady, sustainable, and strategic. With millions of users and a respected brand in the mental health space, it started attracting the attention of institutional buyers. PositivePsychology.com wasn’t just scalable, it was acquirable. In 2023, they sold the platform in an 8-figure acquisition advised by FE International, joining forces with Eden Capital to launch Intelvio, a new healthcare training company. On the 2-year anniversary of the deal, we’re revisiting this milestone with a short clip from the founders and a deep dive into how it all came together.
