Client Introduction
"MindWell Therapy," a startup founded by a team of clinical psychologists, aimed to address the growing demand for accessible mental healthcare. They had a strong clinical model but needed a technology partner to build their vision for a secure, on-demand therapy platform. They had secured seed funding and needed to launch a robust MVP to prove their concept to Series A investors.
Problem
MindWell needed to rapidly develop a HIPAA-compliant, user-friendly mobile app for iOS and Android. The MVP had to include core features like user onboarding, therapist matching, secure video sessions, and integrated payment processing. They had a tight deadline and a fixed budget.
