Teenage Visionary Launches Menorah: A Beacon of Hope for Men's Mental Health
Mr. Jayden John Jacob, a 16-year-old Keralite from the UAE, is making waves as the CEO of Menorah, The World’s First Free Mental Health App Exclusively for Men. This groundbreaking initiative is entirely self-funded, with Jayden using his earnings to support the venture. Now, he is actively seeking investors to expand its reach and unlock its full business potential.
The inspiration behind Menorah is deeply personal. He founded the app following the sudden death of a close family friend who succumbed to stress after isolating himself. This tragedy highlighted the urgent need for a platform where men can openly discuss their mental health issues without fear of stigma or judgment.
Menorah is distinguished by its innovative and compassionate approach to mental health. The app features a team of clinical psychology students from universities around the world, offering a safe and anonymous space for men to chat about their struggles. This peer-to-peer model is crucial in breaking down the barriers that often prevent men from seeking help. The Man 2 Man feature further enhances this support system by allowing men to volunteer and connect with peers in specific age groups, fostering a sense of community and mutual understanding.
Beyond these interactive features, Menorah provides a wealth of resources to promote mental well-being. The app includes a dynamic feed filled with practical tips for managing stress and anxiety, helping users navigate their daily challenges. With a dedicated team of over 100 employees, Menorah has made a significant impact, reaching over 500,000 men worldwide through its app, website, and social media presence.
At the heart of Menorah’s success is his leadership and vision, supported by his tireless COO, Ihzan. Together, they have brought Menorah to life, transforming a personal tragedy into a global mission to support men’s mental health.
His story is a testament to the power of youth, resilience, and innovation. As Menorah continues to grow, it stands as a beacon of hope, ensuring that no man has to face his struggles alone.
