Short founder notes from exam season. Helplines come first; optional 2017 chat below.

Founder Entry 2017 • Exam Season

Exam day, November 2017

End-sem exam at 2:30 pm. A lot of anxiety. I am a 5 pointer at an IIT and I cannot take it anymore.

I feel alone and helpless. Reading feels stressful; my eyes move faster than I can interpret.

Ideas we are exploring Waitlists only, not live yet

Concepts only. Join a waitlist if you want updates.

University support finder (coming soon)

We are exploring a tool to surface your campus counseling and welfare contacts in one place (curated and verified, not guessed).

UK Circle (idea)

Trusted contacts crisis caller for the UK. Concept only, not an emergency service.

  • Pre-approve family and friends on a trusted list.
  • One crisis button notifies them to call back, leave a voice note, share location, or check in.
  • If no response in about 5 minutes, guide toward Samaritans, Mind, Health Assured, then 111 or 999 as appropriate.
  • Soothing music while you wait (not a replacement for human contact).
