Founder

2021 - 2022

Founded a mental health tech app to improve relationships of young adults with their parents. Built an MVP, tested and decided to pause for now. Was a great experience of building a product from scratch, talking with users, finding the pain points and trying to improve lives. The educational part and convincing people to use the app were overwhelming and not scalable, at least at that point of time for me. It was a good feature, but not the full-package product. Why TieTrek? Tie = relationship, Trek = climbing the mountain as it is a hard path & homophone to track as in control/review
