Platform to improve wellbeing and team performance

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an end-to-end platform that uses a self-assessment to diagnose the root causes of poor wellbeing in individuals and teams. Based on that, we match users with proven solutions that improve their mental health and team performance, mainly serving HR and people ops teams in B2B companies.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in The Hague, ZH, Netherlands, and work mostly remote. After YC, we would continue remote or base where the company can best grow.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in The Hague and remote because it lets us tap into diverse talent across locations while staying focused on building our product for global HR teams.
