Founder/CEO
Hello.
I'm a youth formerly in foster care, now working in tech to solve foster care problems!
The Problem: Statiscally speaking, high rates of youth transitioning out of the foster care system do not fair well emotionally, mentally, financially or professionally after entering adulthood.
The Science: Predictive indicators now exist, allowing for early intervention during crucial times of the youths' adolescent development as they are in care. This proactive approach supports better socio-economic outcomes once they transition into adulthood.
The Solution: Using AI, we aim to leverage these indicators to support youth by providing digital caregivers. Think customized, artificially generated moms & dads to support underserved youth. These include those in the BIPOC community & those with neurodiversities stemming from trauma.
The Idea ■ The Execution ■ The Support ■ The Team (Coming Soon)
Imagine an AI generated older sibling.
We dared to try. Built by those with previous lived experience, our app serves as a recommendation engine for life, helping youth adapt to adulthood & thrive in their environment. We support individual needs & growth by providing customized action plans in the form of unique-to-user education & support.
Thriving is hard, especially after experiencing early life adversity.
We're changing that narrative.
When parents are not present, our app will always BeThere.
The Prototype
Youth in care often get grafted on to different family trees. That's why the Trees platform provided our conceptual foundation. Developers trained a model with data from 18-25 year old students adjusting to independent living, while navigating university life. This R&D validated the founder's vision, with it blossoming from dream to reality when the CEO became our Chief Product Officer!
The MVP | Raising: Seed Stage
This underlying magic is the root of our tech as we now navigate the road to our enhanced MVP. Tailored for youth, community workers and social services beta testers, the BeThere app is set to provide advanced, easily accessible resources & local social supports.
Thank You
We extend gratitude to our social impact driven supporters (more coming soon!)
