MindBuddy is a mental health app built around three features.

Therapist matching — pairing patients with the right therapist based on personality and communication style, not just who has a slot open. Most people stop going to therapy because the fit is wrong, not because they don't want help.

An AI twin — an AI model built with your therapist that's there for you between sessions. It's not a replacement for therapy. It's the opposite: it extends the relationship you already have with someone who actually knows your context.

A 24/7 emergency chat connecting you with a mental health professional for the moments when a crisis hits and you can't wait for your next session.

It was my first project ever. I was 21, still studying, no idea what I was doing. I built everything — the brand, the logo (hand-drawn), the UI, the full brand guidelines, the MVPs. Matilde co-founded with me and later wrote her master's thesis on MindBuddy. We went through two acceleration programs. Mental health is a cause that's close to me — I'll leave it at that.

It's on pause right now. But it's the one that started everything.
