Co-founder Search | Stealth Mental Health Startup (Bangalore)

(This is an equity-only founder role. Please reach out only if you're looking for entrepreneurial opportunities, not paid positions. Email me if you're interested; ID at the end)

We’re building something quietly ambitious in the mental health space — for the millions of urban professionals who’ve tried therapy, or thought about it, and felt : this doesn’t quite work for me.

The traditional therapy model wasn’t built for how modern Indians live, think, or make decisions — and it shows. We’re changing that.

A bit about me : I’m a 37-year-old founder based in Bangalore, with a top-tier MBA and leadership experience across high-growth consumer startups. I’ve been full-time on this for the last year.

We’re building a new kind of therapy platform — grounded in empathy, but powered by data, AI, and predictive models. One that delivers real-world outcomes instead of open-ended conversations.

We’re also looking ahead — to the 120M Gen Zs and younger millennials who’ll enter therapy over the next few years, and will demand clarity, structure, and personalisation.

The first version’s out. We’ve served 200+ users with real outcomes, and the signal is clear : we’re onto something that can shift the way mental health is accessed in India.

I’ve been full-time on this for the last year. We’re a lean team, incorporated, with a small F&F round behind us. Now, I’m looking for a co-founder to help take this to scale.

I’m open to two kinds of profiles —

️ A technical builder or product leader who’s comfortable working across the stack, or

A marketing maverick who can own distribution, content, and outreach.

What matters most :

• You’ve done hard things before — previous startup / 0→1 experience
• You have personal financial runway for at least 24 months
• You’re scrappy, decisive, and move fast
• You default to honest conversations, not pitch decks
• You’re full-time, India-based (Bangalore preferred)
• And you’re here for the mission, not just the market

If that sounds like you — let’s talk.
