I’m a Founder. And I’m Pissed.

This industry funds pastel apps and mindfulness mugs, not the gear that actually saves lives.

I built a wearable that listens before the breakdown.
Not another f*cking step counter.
Not another dopamine drip in disguise.
A real-time black-box recorder for emotional distress.

It’s called NOVi, a discreet, screenless necklace that picks up stress signals in your voice before your nervous system taps out.

Grief. Burnout. Panic. Collapse.
It hears what you’re scared to say.

But here’s the disconnect:

Everyone says they want to back mental health.
Until it’s not cute.
Until it’s not branded for brunch.
Until it doesn’t have a blue checkmark co-founder.

Meanwhile:

📈 Suicide rates up 30% since 2000
💊 1 in 5 Americans on anti-anxiety meds
⚠️ A full-blown emotional extinction event and they’re still funding mood boards

So yeah, I’m pissed.

I’ve pitched from parking lots. Slept in vans. Built this from dirt.
And now Silicon Valley’s favorite billionaires are suddenly hyped on “emotional signal hardware”?

Cool.

But we were here first.
And we’re not waiting for permission anymore.
