Our co-founder, Maureen McCarthy, was told she would die young of a rare, genetic lung disease that kills by slow suffocation. With no cure in sight, Maureen couldn't change her body, so she set out to change her brain.

​

Turns out designing a healthy mind creates the conditions for meaningful interactions with other people, which ultimately keeps us alive as a species—both physically and socially.
