Richie runs Fella, a Y Combinator startup to help men tackle binge eating. Fella is a community-driven digital health platform: software to guide you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supported by other men going through the same thing. Before Fella, Richie's first company (an AI transport startup working with the UK government) was acquired. He's a self-taught data scientist, studied economics at Cambridge University, and dropped out of a masters at Peking Uni in China.

In this episode we discuss the amazing work Richie and the team are doing over at Fella, his own journey with binge eating, life as a founder with a YC startup and what helps him look after his own mental health.
