The number one problem facing my generation
Five years ago, I felt in my bones that the defining problem facing my generation was our digital wellbeing. I was tired of watching myself, and everyone around me, waste time and potential to endless scrolling, and I believed helping people reclaim that time was the most important thing I could work on. So I dropped out of school to join an incredible company called Opal.
Five years later, it's a different problem that feels impossible to ignore: our crisis of meaning.
My friends and I don't lack ideas. We've grown up with infinite choice and endless inspiration. We can see a thousand different lives we could live, careers we could pursue, places we could go, and people we could become.
But that abundance creates its own challenges. We struggle to discern what truly lights us up. We hesitate. We overthink. We keep our options open. And even when we know what we want, we struggle to follow through. We avoid the smallest of risks.
In doing so, we miss out on the stories, adventures, and scar tissue that come from fully engaging with life.
That's why we're building Tomo.
I believe it is the greatest time in history to be building consumer products. AI gives us the opportunity to create technology that doesn't just make life easier, but helps people pursue harder, more meaningful life challenges.
