Composite Higgs models are a popular solution to the hierarchy problem of Higgs physics. I will briefly review the basics of Composite Higgs and highlight the main problems that such models face. I will then introduce a new class of Composite Higgs models in which electroweak symmetry is broken in a different way, via a seesaw-like mass mixing. I will then argue that this new class of models can ease many of the problems CH models face, especially those relating to tuning.
