#64 - Founder Spotlight #1 (Mental Health Startup Pitches)

We are trying something new. We want to leverage our platform to tell the story of those entrepreneurs who are building in the mental health space that do not get the air time they deserve.

In this new segment, you will hear from a handful of mental health startup founders. Each of these entrepreneurs has been given 3 minutes, uninterrupted, un-edited, to tell their story. They will explain why they are working in this space, what are they building, and how far along are they.

We intend to publish founder spotlights a couple times a month.

This is not a fundraising pitch. In fact, some of these entrepreneurs are not building what you would consider a venture-backed business (however, some are). This is not intended to be "shark tank."

The purpose of this new segment is to leverage our platform for a few things:

Provide visibility for entrepreneurs building mental health solutions. You aren't going to be hearing from the high flying, big names in the space like Ginger, Mindstrong, and others here. This is a place to learn about the founders who receive less fanfare, and less attention.
Connect entrepreneurs to people who may be able to help them.
Give our audience a sense of what ideas are being built which may encourage more people to get involved in the space and maybe even help match talent, resource, and capital with entrepreneurs.
