Kumo began from a personal interest. As an immigrant navigating new environments, I’ve long been interested in mental health and personal growth, how people cope with stress, adapt to change, and build resilience. This curiosity led me and a friend to start a questionnaire exploring how others manage daily stress and emotional challenges. The responses revealed how often people keep struggles to themselves and hesitate to seek help, despite wanting safe, private outlets.
To complement this, we conducted broader research into the mental health industry, mapping existing tools and identifying gaps in real-time, personalized support.
