As a Mental Health Ed-Tech Entrepreneur & Advisor, I’ve built and exited two companies in this space. My first served over 700,000 consumers before a successful exit in 2017, and my second evolved into a clinical research project focused on a “Digital Vitamin” for subclinical anxiety. Now, I’m working on my new venture, centered on intelligent psychoeducation.
