  • Industry: Mental Health & Wellness (Tech Startup)

  • Service Delivered: MVP App Design & Development

  • We developed branding and a minimalistic logo to reflect calm, trust, and modern wellness.

Objective:

To rapidly design and develop a HIPAA-compliant MVP for Mindnest that would validate the Startup's mental health app concept, enable real user testing, and support fundraising—all within an 8-week timeline and a lean budget.

⚠️ Client Problem

Mindnest was a bootstrapped mental health startup founded by two clinical therapists aiming to make therapy more accessible via a mobile-first app. However, they faced challenges that prevented them from validating their idea or getting funding:

  • Their core challenges were:
  • ❌ No technical co-founder
  • ❌ No working product to show investors
  • ❌ Limited budget & strict 8-week launch timeline
  • ❌ Needed HIPAA-compliant architecture
  • ❌ Required rapid user testing & market validation
Our Solution

We built an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that delivered core value with minimal spend and maximum usability.

  • TMVP Goals:
  • • Let users book and attend virtual therapy sessions
  • • Allow licensed therapists to onboard and list availability
  • • Create HIPAA-compliant chat and video support
  • • Collect feedback to validate retention, usability, and therapist demand
