DLA Piper advised Fello, a peer support platform for the loneliness epidemic which connects anyone seeking connection and guidance, in its US$10.4 million fundraise to-date, including a seed investment from Glen Tullman’s 62Ventures, The Capital Factory Fellowship Fund, Katalyst Capital and Offline Ventures, amongst others.
Fello’s mission is to give everyone access to peer support. “Fellos” are trained to pair the wisdom of lived experiences with the knowledge of active listening, by undergoing vetting and training processes developed with a team of leading clinicians.
Fello CEO Alyssa Pollack said: “Collaborating with DLA Piper has been invaluable. Their expertise and personalized approach have made them more than just advisors — they have been true partners in our growth.”
“It has been a pleasure to work with Fello on this critical fundraise and display the full depth and breadth of our team’s capabilities,” said Scott Kapp, the DLA Piper partner who, along with partner Adam Spector, led the transaction for the firm.
Alongside Kapp and Spector (both Chicago), the DLA Piper team included associate Stephen Truban (Washington, DC).
