Youper was born from the idea that everyone can become the best version of themselves, like being a super you. In fact, Youper comes from the combination of You + Super. 🤩
We believe that the pursuit of happiness is an undeniable right. However, we know that on our search, emotional and mental health issues can block the way and get us stuck.
Currently, it can take more than ten years for someone facing these issues, like stress, anxiety, and depression, to get the help they need. Beyond that, more than 60% don’t have access to effective solutions.
A psychiatrist, a software engineer, and a designer created Youper to be the first-responder for emotional health problems for people all over the world and to ensure that no one has to wait years to address their issues.
Just like Google became our second intellectual brain, Youper is becoming our second emotional brain: a personal assistant that users love and feel compelled to share with people they care about. Check what people are talking about it on Twitter.
