Around 2 months ago a friend of mine in London wanted to introduce me to a start-up, that he said was making big changes in the well-being space. I reluctantly agreed to meet the team and to my surprise, the idea they pitched blew me away. In fact, as cheesy as it sounds, they got me at &aposHello!&apos
For full disclosure, I ended up investing in the organisation because they have one free component. I&aposm on the board of directors and also offering tech advice.
JAAQ, an online mental well-being platform was founded by Danny Gray. He&aposs well known in the UK for having one of the most successful &aposDragons Den&apos pitches for &aposWar Paint&apos his men&aposs make-up brand. He&aposs very passionate about protecting others from going through the same mental health challenges as him.
Danny Gray is the founder of men&aposs make-up brand &aposWar Paint&apos and more recently an online mental well-being platform, JAAQ. He lives with body dysmorphic disorder, a mental health condition that inspired him to launch both of his companies. Part of Danny&aposs mission is to provide better access to support, for anyone concerned about their mental health.
