In this episode of Founders Mental Health, we welcome Emad and Simon, who share their experiences in the mental health tech startup space. Emad transitioned from corporate roles to founding the startup Saichologist, aimed at aiding mental health professionals. Simon, a psychologist with a tech background, connected with Emad through an shared community, and they quickly realized their shared passion for alleviating administrative burdens on mental health professionals.

We discuss the importance of finding the right co-founder, handling disagreements, and sustaining mental health through open communication and the right support systems.
