Teen girls are in a mental health crisis- US Surgeon General
U4U is a solution & globally scalable opportunity
U4U is a pre-seed curated social media platform for teenage girls providing healthy connection, support, and development journey. The ‘freemium’ business model taps into the billions (such as CA’s Prop 63’s annual $2Bill for child mental health & $4.4Bill youth behavior health initiative 2021) spent on teenage mental health by parents, schools, state and federal agencies.
Our initial pilot showed reduction in depression, initiated behavior change, goal setting & empowerment within 3 weeks of engagement. As well as High levels of engagement, clicks & positive feedback like: “I started U4U because I was feeling insecure & thought U4U could help, I was so right…I’m loving it.” 15yr; “I’m so grateful for this community.”16yr.
We are looking to raise funds in a pre-seed round to build out the product MVP and broaden the pilot. Initial conversations with schools, adolescent therapists & adolescent dietitians have uncovered strong interest & eagerness to partner in distributing.

Seed Investors
U4U is seeking pre-seed investors; be a part of a much needed solution and large, scalable opportunity.
US studies of teen girls show that 1 in 5 suffer from depression, +25% have tried self-harm, +10% have eating disorders & +35% have body image issues, so it’s no wonder that the New York Times (https://nyti.ms/38eMjKq) and many others are pointing out that teen girls need help. Yet, parents are busy, schools are full & girls are turning to social media to cope which is amplifying the negative statistics. And this situation is increasingly present around the world.
Yet girls hold a world of potential. As Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen says:
“The potential to change a culture lies in a girl”
Females invest more of their earnings & time into their families & communities… over their lifetimes they influence generations.
By investing in U4U, you can be a part of the solution.
