DENVER (January 20, 2023) – CoPeace PBC, an impact investing and services company, announced today a strategic partnership with InReachCommunity Dx, a hospital laboratory services company.

The agreement calls for CoPeace to provide a variety of finance, marketing, data, operational and project management services to InReach Community Dx.

InReach Community Dx leverages the excess capacity and capabilities of hospital laboratories to transform them from cost centers to economic engines by creating a responsible, sustainable, revenue stream that will support the hospital for years to come.

“We are excited to announce our agreement with the CoPeace team,” said Sean McShane, InReach Community Dx CEO. “We believe that they will provide assistance across all aspects of our business, especially marketing, operations and project management.”

The InReach Community Dx program is designed to link rural hospitals to community minded, independent practices who share their concerns and want to provide an increased level of personal service to their patients while supporting the financial stability of local, rural healthcare

“We are honored to partner with InReach Community Dx, a true impact company, as they grow their business and positively impact the hospitals and the communities they serve,” said Craig Jonas, CoPeace founder & CEO. “The InReach team is playing a critical role in helping save rural hospitals through new responsible and sustainable profit centers. We are thrilled to help them in that endeavor.”

CoPeace Will Provide a Variety of Impact and Business Services to Help ExperienceYes Enter the Sports Market 

DENVER (September 14, 2022) – CoPeace, an impact investing and services company, announced today a strategic services agreement to provide ExperienceYes, an improv mindset consulting company, a variety of impact and business services through its CoPeace Sports subsidiary. 

 ExperienceYes is an innovative company that uses the tools and techniques of the improv mindset to improve leadership skills, engage free flowing creativity, increase team productivity, and develop healthy business cultures. 

 “I was really excited when ExperienceYes approached CoPeace,” said Craig Jonas, CEO/Founder of CoPeace, and a former college conference basketball coach of the year.  “I’ve had the opportunity to participate in sessions with ExperienceYes. Not only did I see my own creativity improve, I also quickly saw how this program could positively impact sports teams. I am confident the ExperienceYes program can give a sports program a significant edge.” 

 CoPeace and ExperienceYes have formed a strategic alliance to build and implement an “integrated improv and creativity” coaching program for the sports industry. ExperienceYes has had great success in the business world with its programming and sees a tremendous opportunity to positively impact the world of sports. 

 “Improv has some huge advantages when it comes to teams, whether in business or sports” said Gail Montgomery, CEO and Co-Founder of ExperienceYes.  “Not only does it significantly increase team collaboration, cohesion and trust, there’s also been new research that illustrates how an improviser’s brain can see the world in a very different, very creative way.” 

 The new program targeting sports teams is designed to be an integral part of a team’s wholistic coaching process, from pre-season planning and workouts through the regular season.  

 The ExperienceYes process focuses on four core rules of improv: 1) Yes, and …; 2) Listen with the intent to serve; 3) Support your teammates at all costs; and 4) Trust your instincts.  The new sport program will include a variety of creativity-improvement activities.  

 “I think fundamentally we’ve always known that creativity matters a lot in sports,” said Bruce Montgomery, President and Co-Founder of ExperienceYes. “To our knowledge, however, this will be the first time where creativity is not just the by-product of something else. It is a real skill, a skill that can be effectively developed within all sports teams and one that has a tremendous impact on winning.”

DENVER (August 04, 2022) — CoPeace, an ESG holding company that invests in growing companies demonstrating social and environmental impact, is partnering with You:Flourish, the first mental health and wellness smartphone application designed specifically for the needs of the LGBTQ+ community.

Validating the urgent need for a digital tool that addresses the need for accessible LGBTQ+ affirming behavioral health support, CoPeace has committed to the role of co-lead investor in You:Flourish’s current angel round capital raise. In addition, CoPeace will provide a range of finance, operations and marketing services to You:Flourish. CoPeace’s fractional C-suite support will assist You:Flourish’s operational strategy, business model refinement and recruitment.

“You:Flourish meets a critical need in society and the team at CoPeace, myself in particular, is dedicated to growing You:Flourish into a thriving company,” said Jacob Miller, analytics manager for CoPeace and project lead on the You:Flourish initiative. “I’ve had my fair share of mental health struggles over the years. You:Flourish will help people like me find impactful and affirming support so we can all be the best versions of ourselves.”

Designed by public health, wellness and behavioral health professionals, the You:Flourish platform is modeled on a behavior change framework that will enable users to customize a peer support community with shared identities, establish wellness goals, track daily habits and earn rewards for engagement. In addition to a library of resources and interactive content, a directory of vetted mental health professionals with the expertise to provide culturally relevant and LGBTQ+ affirming behavioral health interventions will be accessible.

Funding for digital health is at an all-time high. In 2021, total funding among U.S.-based digital health startups accounted for $29.1 billion across 729 deals. Overall investment nearly doubled the previous record, which was $14.9 billion in 2020, according to RockHealth.org.

CoPeace’s team brings more than 50 years of strategic financial leadership through each funding phase, which will establish You:Flourish for future sustainable growth. The CoPeace team is spearheading You:Flourish’s crowdfunding phase of fundraising, which will launch later in the third quarter.

There is an urgent need for digital mental health support for the LGBTQ+ community. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, 48% of transgender adults have attempted suicide in their lifetime, compared with 4% of the general U.S. population. The Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health reported that rates of suicidal thoughts have trended upward among LGBTQ young people over the past three years, with nearly half indicating they had strong thoughts of killing themselves.

Across the country, Americans as a whole are struggling to find mental health providers. The National Alliance on Mental Illness states that 55% of U.S. counties do not have a single practicing psychiatrist. While mental health challenges and suicide continue to increase, there has yet to be a digital resource that supports behavioral health within the LGBTQ+ community.

You:Flourish Founder and Interim CEO Steven Haden understands what’s at stake and laments the lack of opportunities to find healthy connections and reliable resources within the LGBTQ+ community.

“As a gay man who has had my own struggles with mental health, I have experienced the loneliness and lack of affirming mental health support,” said Haden. “We need more than empty gestures from political leaders and mental health professionals who say they care but don’t have the requisite training to move our community from surviving to thriving as a whole.”

Motivated by his struggle with mental health challenges, Haden started Envision:You, a nonprofit that addresses the gaps in behavioral health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals. Envision:You offers co-created community programming, advocacy engagement, public awareness campaigns and evidence-based training. Envision:You created You:Flourish and owns part of the company.

“Through my work with Envision:You, we’ve had the resources, research and community programs, and it is still not enough. Envision:You created You:Flourish to give individuals access to vetted resources and identity-affirming connections no matter where they live or the time of day,” said Haden. “One touch or tap, and a world of possibilities will open up at your fingertips to support your well-being.”

As a public benefit corporation — like CoPeace — You:Flourish works to provide behavioral health and wellness resources to the LGBTQ+ community in alignment with CoPeace’s impact investing philosophy. Focusing on “doing active good” through investments in private companies, impact investments address significant social and environmental problems.
