## Story
The Problem: We are in mental wellness crisis47% of Americans report feeling lonely. Despite advances in technology that allow for constant connection, people feel more lonely, anxious, and devoid of authentic connection than ever. Loneliness is greatly impacting Gen Z and Millennials, making them the loneliest generations. A recent study from YouGov showed that 22% of Millennials reported having no friends. Covid-19 has only heightened their sense of isolation. Goal: Own the sub-clinical mental wellness space Current Solutions aren't working despite people actively looking for help. Other models focus on lead generation to paid clinical services, chatbots, or self-reflection. People don’t always need help in a clinical setting. More often, they benefit from someone who can listen to them, be present and available for them, see them, hear them, and validate them. That is where HearMe comes in. Solution: The HearMe PlatformHearMe is a mobile health disruptor with a scalable solution to address the global loneliness crisis and improve mental wellness. We democratize talk therapy's benefits by allowing anyone to anonymously connect 24/7 with a trained listener who can understand and share in their unique lived experiences.By addressing the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection before it accelerates into larger health issues, we can positively impact people's overall mental wellness, drive targeted responses, and reduce cost for universities and enterprises. Built on the power of human connection through technology, we have access to vast datasets to allow for rich insights.How It WorksHearMe harnesses the power of empathetic listening to create authentic connections and provide an outlet for people to vent, share, and discuss everyday stressors and triggers. Our 24/7 on-demand support meets people in their moment of need. Our Unique Approach Mental health continues to deteriorate despite an increase in people being willing to seek help. We believe that a problem shared is a problem halved and that we all play a role in creating a healthier world. HearMe provides an inclusive and safe space for everyone to be welcomed and heard. Empowering all to put empathy into action through evidence-based interactions to improve mental wellnessFinding avenues to feel heard and honestly express emotions can improve mental health, decrease negative self-thoughts and lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. According to the Cigna loneliness survey, people who experienced daily, meaningful interactions scored 20 points lower on the Loneliness Index and tended to be healthier than those who didn’t. Overcoming loneliness starts with authentic, individual conversations. When we have an outlet to freely communicate and be heard without fear of judgment, we feel a sense of release, validation, and empowerment. Business modelHearMe Mobile AppWe foster authentic human connection by using an AI-powered matching algorithm to connect users to trained listeners, in anonymous, safe, HIPPA compliant text conversations.

  - A: Hello Mohammed, We have been a free platform for the past 14 months, and are launching a paid premium version of the platform, as well as approaching universities and enterprises as paid clients. Revenue projections can be found in our attached deck! Calm and Headspace exist in the mindfulness and meditation space, and can be complementary to our peer support platform. We're growing to be a market leader in peer support, and we see companies like Calm and Headspace as natural strategic acquirers if they move towards peer support. We currently don't connect our members with clinical professionals via our platform. There is potential for this as we grow and scale, but we are hyper-focused on democratizing access for everyone via peer support.
