And is now sharing exact blueprint to:
✓ Build a Clinical Advisory Board before you write another line of code
✓ Find the 10 VCs who already understand your risk profile
✓ Identify your compliance gaps before an auditor does
Is This For Me?
If you see yourself in any of these:
You've built a product but clinicians aren't recommending it, and you're not sure why.
You're getting downloads but users aren't coming back after the first week.
You keep hearing "we love the space" from VCs, but no one is writing the check.
You know compliance matters, but you're not sure where to start or what you're actually missing.
You're tracking engagement metrics but have no idea how to prove clinical outcomes to a payer.
Your users tell you they love the app, but you have no clinical data to show a hospital system or payer.
…then you should take a look at the The Mental Health Founder's Blueprint
What's Inside?
Day 1: Clinical Validation Why building before validating with clinicians leaves you with no distribution channel, and how to build a Clinical Advisory Board that actually opens doors.
Day 2: Retention Over Downloads Why chasing downloads is burning your runway, and how to identify the one clinical action your app must drive to keep users coming back past Day 30.
Day 3: Compliance First The HIPAA, data privacy, and safety gaps that shut apps down overnight, and how to build a compliance-first culture before an auditor finds what you missed.
Day 4: Finding the Right Investors Why generalist VCs keep saying "we love the space" without writing the check, and how to find specialists who already understand your regulatory risk profile.
Day 5: Clinical Outcomes vs. Social Features Why engagement metrics won't get you a hospital contract, and how to prove health outcomes in the language payers and health systems actually respond to.
Done! Your first Mental Health Founder's Blueprint lesson is on the way.
