Hi I'm Rodrigo, founder of bemellou. We're launching here soon.
Quick context: only about 1 in 14 people who are struggling ever get real help, the other 13 do nothing, because therapy and apps ask too much, too soon. bemellou is the softest first step: a plush companion (Mellou) that opens the door to an app with psychoeducation, community, and access to support. You just hold something.
Genuinely curious, what's stopped you (or someone you love) from taking a first step for your mental health? Reading every reply.
bemellou pairs a plush companion (Mellou) with an app offering psychoeducation, community, and access to professional support designed as the softest first step toward mental wellbeing. Built for people who aren't ready for therapy or a full app yet: you start by holding something. Not a therapy or medical service.
