FOUNDER'S MANIFESTO
hello! let's talk about mental health :)
i'm Varun Gandhi, cofounder & ceo at being cares, inc.
it's been 2+ years of being and from day 1, there’s only one thing i have wanted to do — design a mental health app ‘categorically for you’ you’re unique, my friend, and so are your issues. i mean, no one in this world feels what you feel, sees what you see, and experiences life (the good, the bad, the ugly) in the ways that you do
so why should your app and especially your mental health app be any different? why should it work the same way for everyone?
it should think like you it should adapt to you it should be all about youit should be what you need help with,and what works for youit should be — just like a therapist
also very unlike a therapist at the same time — cause it’s there with you in those moments, in those days, in those phases, and in those times when probably no one else is
this is what we intend to do,
but there’s a problem. a big one!
our lives are not static. things happen. we experience all kinds of things. we find ourselves in all kinds of situations. we move along and across issues.
all. the. time.
our journey through issues is very non-linear.
and except therapy, no other form of support (especially any of the many apps) understands you like that, they just give you a library of things to do.
not necessarily what you need. and not at all when you need it. so you adapt yourself to whatever they’ve to offer. when it should actually be the other way around —
you deserve a whole different approach to mental health that starts from where you are and moves alongside you.
to be honest, it’s not different at all. cause that’s what therapy is about. and that’s what therapists have been doing for for the last 100+ years..
..but therapy is expensive, inaccessible, unscalable.. blah blah..
the key difference is about fundamentally re-imagining care that’s as personal and as effective as therapy and as accessible and affordable and scalable as any app
so after ~
💸 spending $1,300,000,
🗓️ being live for 1,000+ days,
👀 observing 500,000+ users,
🧠 brainstorming with 1,000s of users,
🧑🏻⚕️ learning from 100s of psychologists,
📑 & building on 1,000s of professionals' research over the last few decades
each, across personas, issues, and geographies — i have something meaningful for you
and on that note, my friend, i want to introduce you to ..

23 PROBLEMS
we’ve identified 23 (twenty-three) critical issues
with the fundamental way mental healthcare works right now, and how the map is going to change that
1. you don’t know what or how you feel most of the time
2. you probably know how you feel but do not know what to about it
3. there’s always a lot going on on your mind but you can’t make out what

THE WAITLIST
we want to empower you with the world’s mental health knowledge at your fingertips.
for you to learn and seek help anytime — about anything and everything.
and to do that at less than 1/100th of the cost.
yet, as much as we want to give everyone access to the map and the ability to tailor ‘being’ to their needs — we can’t do that right now.
the map is a work in progress and so, we can only allow a few people at a time for the most personalized ‘you’ mental health experience ever.
here’s how you can
skip the waitlist & get early access
1. if mental health is a priority for you, and 2. you want to design the future of mental health with us, we’ve prepared a small questionnaire for you..
*For everyone who qualifies after the questionnaire — we’ll reach out in 24-48 hours to officially confirm your spot and get you started!
**We’ll not use your details for any marketing, sales, or anything like that. We’ll never sell or trade your personal details. In fact, we'll delete all information once the waitlist is cleared.
