Driven by personal and professional experience, he is committed to building a better mental health system. About Contributions Nagle began his entrepreneurial career as the owner and CEO of RateMyProfessors.com , a college review platform he acquired and scaled to more than 50 million annual users.

Under his leadership, the company onboarded more than 5,000 treatment providers and helped nearly 1 million people access care before being acquired. Building on that success, Nagle acquired MentalHealth.com in 2022, recognizing mental health as one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare sectors. As founder and lead investor, Nagle brings two decades of experience building consumer internet and digital health companies. Within two years, MentalHealth.com raised funding, launched its platform, and grew to more than 1 million annual users.
