BetterUp raised $125 million in February in a Series D round of financing that put the value of the startup to $1.73 billion, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Four things to know about Harry’s new role:

1. He will be responsible for guiding BetterUp’s member experiences by shaping its library with content on mental fitness.

2. Harry will expand the startup’s global community of thought leadership, coaches and members through strategic outreach.

3. He will guide BetterUp’s social mission to expand worldwide.

4. Through advocacy and awareness, the prince will elevate global conversations surrounding mental health.

“Self-optimisation is not about fixing something that’s broken,” Harry said in the blog post. “It’s about becoming the best version of ourselves, with whatever life throws at us, someone who is ready for the next challenge and can meet setbacks with courage, confidence and self-awareness. “
