Who is Feeling Great?
Feeling Great is on a mission to help the world ‘feel great’ by tackling the world's largest health problem, mental health. We are building the first ever digital AI companion that gives users a dramatic mood boost in just two hours. Early tests of our app show a 67% decrease in 7 negative emotions: sadness, inadequacy, hopelessness, guilt, loneliness, frustration and anger.
Our breakthrough is based on TEAM, a new, high-speed approach to help people change the way they think and feel developed by our cofounder Dr. David Burns. Dr. Burns pioneered and popularized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, now the most researched and practiced form of therapy in the world. Dr. David Burns has spent the last 40 years doing research and development to create TEAM. We believe that our breakthrough will be considered similar in scope and impact to the polio vaccine.
Come join us on our mission to help the world “feel great”!
