Thanks Kiran. That was the thought and also the fact that there is so much taboo and dogma associated to Depression that even if a person is aware of it he/she might want to deny it. If a platform is made available where Help can be provided and anonymity maintained more and more people would want to explore it. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hi Lauren – thanks for reviewing and the feedback. You bring up very good points. I am currently in the middle of market research and persona building but here is what I have:
1) Competitive Market – there are two types here a) Apps providing therapy options and other sources like meditation apps b) crowdfunded apps that have a wider audience but that enable community and outreach. My pitch is to combine the two within one platform that offers community, care in the form of conselling by volunteer opportunities and crowdfunding in the form of donations made to the platforms or specific programs offered within the platform in the form of community work
2) Market Share – Since this idea is pretty naicent I am unsure there is one particular way to capture market share but I am thinking on the lines of a new and improved GoFundMe.

I will be happy to discuss this further with you since my research on this is still very very new.
