Somethings is a high-potential mental health startup that recently raised $19.2M in Series A funding (Feb 2026) and actively supports over 11,000 teens via Medicaid partnerships. While the submission itself was of very low quality (containing inaccurate claims like 'marketcap: 2500000' and 'audience: everyone'), independent verification confirms strong clinical backing, significant capital traction, and high real-world utility in addressing the teen mental health crisis.
