REVIEW: Hello Tomek. I really enjoyed your 1 minute elevator pitch. It just pulled on my heart and I know my students have a hard time at school. With the statistics, I can only imagine how devastating it can be to lose a student to mental health. As educators, we want to support and be there for our students. I would love to invest in your company because I believe in the cause. I believe we need to create a support system for the most vulnerable students in our schools, especially in a country where they don’t feel supported or they feel very isolated under the pressure of achieving. I couldn’t find your 8 minute venture video, but I did read over your materials. I think your team seems very qualified and I like the steps on how to find a community to help with mental problems. I’m surprised this hasn’t already happened in Japan with the high suicide rates in Asia. Coming from an Asian background, I know how tough it can be in high school with the pressure to succeed academically and also growing up in a dysfunctional family. Pressure from school and home can lead to bleak moments, but having an outlet, somewhere, someone understands how difficult life can be, it can save us.

Thank you for your comments Martina. Unfortunately the pressures on Asian children, and in my case in Japan, are quite unfathomable by the everyday global citizen. It is a crucial part of young lives here, yet never one discussed or even recognized as a problem. I hope that this project can serve as an outlet to make sure youth don't make wrong decisions that they will regret.
