During the COVID-19 pandemic, a mental health crisis arose: a crisis that Gen-Z entrepreneurs Travis Chen and Brian Femminella would rise to meet. This duo created an app called SoundMind. This app both produces and releases music that is made specifically to help reduce anxiety. The music is made by people that work specifically for the company, and soon the company plans on launching a creator platform to start partnering with independent music artists that would like to create music for the app.
Chen and Femminella faced the challenge of getting investors and support due to their young age. However, through hard work and perseverance, this team of entrepreneurs proved themselves worthy and has since raised six figures in pre-seed funding.
SoundMind is a clever and useful way to help people around the world better manage their anxiety through the avenue of music. This company is living proof that no matter the age, you can make a difference in people’s lives by utilizing those around you and putting your heads together to make something impactful.
This product is very unique in the sense that it helps reduce anxiety. There definitely aren’t many products like this in the market, especially considering that it releases music as well. Its very impressive how they raised over 6 figures in pre-seed funding. I would think that this company/brand would inspire other brands to create similar products in the near future.
I think this is a really good idea, and infact I have friends that have used this app in the past and talked very highly about it. Covid-19 was a very stressful time for everyone, it is inspiring to see people who wanted to go beyond themselves and serve others during this crisis.
You know what? this is so cool, because I’ve actually seen this app numerous times as adds on a bunch of different platforms, and I remember thinking that while it wouldn’t be useful to me, it would definitely be useful for so many other people. Now seeing that this idea and product was created during the pandemic, it all makes sense now. As I’ve said in some of my posts, this is another example of innovation that is created through the use of technology to fill a niche and need in today’s day and age.
