Making mental wellbeing support accessible to everyone

Our Story

Our story began during our time as co-founders working together on a previous startup. Amidst the excitement and challenges of building a new venture, we— Jake and Vlad —found ourselves grappling with the mounting pressures. One day, an open conversation between us unveiled not only our personal struggles with mental health, but also a startling realization: many of those around us—friends, family, colleagues—were quietly facing similar challenges. This shared experience highlighted a profound truth: many people struggle with mental health issues in silence.

People are increasingly struggling with stress and anxiety, but most people do not seek help. There are many reasons why people hesitate to seek support: some feel stigmatized, others find it daunting to share their innermost thoughts, and there simply aren’t enough therapists to meet the demand. The result is that individuals often wait until it is too late , and their problems become unbearable.

As seasoned tech professionals, we’ve witnessed the remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence. Could AI be the key to making mental wellbeing support more accessible? Could we create a solution that encourages people to take that crucial first step in addressing their feelings?

We believe the answer is yes.

Our Vision

MindPeace AI is our answer to these challenges. We’ve developed an AI-powered companion that is always available, completely non-judgmental, and designed to help you. By providing a platform where anyone can freely express their thoughts and feelings, we aim to break down the barriers that prevent people from seeking support.

Our AI assistant leverages techniques commonly used in therapy practices to guide users toward improved mental wellbeing. It offers personalized resources, interactive exercises, and gentle prompts to help users reflect on their thoughts and habits. And it will encourage users to seek professional help when they need it.
