League is in a league of its own, raising $25 million to help employers with a mobile platform to support wellness, health spending and other employee health insurance activities.  Okay, let me add a little more to this; the moron that is the CEO of this company intends to eventually offer health insurance and refers to health insurance as just another industry waiting to be "ubered".  I have news for you, buddy, health care is not like catching a ride somewhere.  Take a good look at all the other startups thinking they are bringing some great technology that is going to revolutionize health care.  IT NEVER HAPPENS.

Talkspace has talked spaced-out investors into giving it $15 million in new capital to build a new line of business--virtual group therapy for college students.  Virtual is probably good for college students since apparently even looking at another person might trigger something or other.  Maybe the firm should change its name to Talksafespace.
