I went through mental health issues and financial issues myself.

Decided to make something to help everyone through a similar situation.

My personal story of struggling through mental health issues, and not able to go to anyone as well as my personal issue of struggling through financial issues. Just a little bit of help could have changed so much at that time.

1. Experience in the startup world. Have built and scaled multiple projects.

2. Experience in the tech industry and have built million dollar projects.

3. Knowledge of management, having built many teams and operations.

4. Personal passion towards the project.

I had no job after graduation and my family needed me to support them financially. I was also going through a very low phase and suffering through mental health issues at that time.

Somehow after getting my first job, and paying through the bills, since I wanted to build this project (as well as a few other projects) - I put all my savings into building them. 

I worked a day job, tutored school students in the weekend to make some extra money, made youtube videos, made courses and sold them online and did gigs in the local area to enable myself to earn that little extra that I could invest to hire the different kinds of skilled people required to build this project. I was saving about 20% of my income in the last 3 years and I put all of it into running this business. That's a 100% risk, knowing that I have a family to support and cannot fail.

Thankfully I've been able to pull it off for the last 3 years. In 1 business I built a team of 9, ran out of money and the team left. It's back on now.

I believe there has been a trend.

1 - an employee in the company where I was working was shifted to another boss. This person kept requesting to be able to come back under my leadership.

2 - in my business when I ran out of money to pay the employees, I had to bid farewell to them. A few months later when I saved up again - they all took the risk of the business failing again, but rejoined me.

3 - I built a team of 50+ people in the company where I was doing by first job, where the employee attrition until I was working there, was less than 5%

I believe the set of 3 outcomes are connected to a common factor - leadership isn't about 1 specific instance. It's a daily affair. It's in the micro decisions that are taken daily. I believe that the people that have worked with me have hopefully felt that there's no single 'achievement branding' that I use to lead them. It's just the overall long term feeling they've got working with me that they have been happy with my decisions and hence were okay with me leading.

With a degree of confidence, I can say that this business can scale. Can prove it within 1 year of funding.
