Russell Glass

Russell Glass is the former CEO of Headspace Health (the Ginger plus Headspace combination), now active as an operator-angel in mental and behavioral health and digital health. His angel pattern is exactly that: mental and behavioral health and digital health at pre-seed and seed, $25k-$100k checks. AI focus not flagged. San Francisco-based, US scope. Best fit: mental and behavioral health founders building employer or payer-facing platforms, where Glass’s Ginger and Headspace operating experience translates directly; founders who would benefit from real scar tissue on the operational difficulty of scaling mental-health care; B2B mental-health plays selling into health plans, employers, or providers. Entry path is LinkedIn or Twitter (publicly active) and warm intros via Headspace and Ginger alumni networks. Not a fit for biotech, devices, consumer wellness brands without a behavioral-health wedge, or generalist digital health platforms outside mental health. Expect deep questions about clinical efficacy, engagement, and the unit economics of behavioral health, all areas where Headspace Health’s history is instructive in both directions; come prepared to discuss why your model genuinely scales rather than churns.
