ANECDOTE

Origin Story: From Law To Emotional Tech

  • Kai Koch describes leaving a law career and founding ahead after a stressful startup period highlighted damaging personal behaviors.
  • He and his cofounder noticed procrastination and irritation were blocking success and built a product to address those everyday flaws.
ADVICE

Start With The Problem, Then Build The Path

  • Tailor interventions to a user's specific problem (procrastination, anger) rather than pitching a generic emotional-intelligence cure.
  • Let users pick a focused journey so tools map directly to their stated issue.
ADVICE

Make Change Where People Already Are

  • Use mobile apps to actionize emotional learning because phones are woven into daily life and offer many opportunities to remind users.
  • Leverage frequent unlocks to prompt small, practical behaviors that turn knowledge into habits.
