At Affect Mental Health, we’re building a non-profit Y combinator(startup incubator) to build breakthrough products in mental health. We need products that are as impactful as Facebook and Google in mental health. Read more about The 1,000 Journeys Project, where we collect mental health stories to map out where transformative products can have the most impact. Meet Malik and Jessica.
Be a member of the founding team that grew from the Harvard and MIT communities with expertise in fields such as healthcare economics, user experience design, molecular neuroscience, and computational biology. We are participating in the Harvard Venture Accelerator. As part of this team, you will learn how to be an entrepreneur. Two years ago, our CEO experienced the two most transformative months of his life participating in this program. He started with zero business experience and learned how to figure out what product to build, how to build it, and how to construct business models. At the end of the program, he raised $10M to start his company. By joining us, you will gain these superpowers!!

Are you most interested in operations, product development, marketing, finance, or recruiting/team building/HR?
