Meemo’s World got its start in early 2021, when our two founders Derek and Clarissa bonded over a mutual obsession of banh mi (vietnamese pork roll). They began discussing their shared struggles over finding mental health solutions that were accessible, cheap and easy to use.
Witnessing close friends and family struggle with mental health issues during the pandemic, Derek & Clarissa saw how hard it was to book therapy sessions as it became even more inaccessible during the pandemic due to high costs and even longer wait times.
Chancing upon blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the duo were immediately drawn towards the emphasis on close-knit communities and gamification in the space.Together with Derek’s prior research on digital therapy and Clarissa's background in software development and behavioural science, a solution was founded that could combine the 'stickiness' of modern mobile apps with the science of modern therapy. The ultimate goal was to create a way to make taking care of your mental health fun - and from this, Meemo's World was born.
We hope you'll connect with Meemo's World, and use it as a way to begin a journey to improved mental health.

Meemo's World launched as an NFT to start by creating a commmunity focused around mental health. Too often products launch a solution without focusing on the problem and fall flat after not having a problem validated. Meemo's World was created to validate that what we were creating was something that needed to be solved.
