Wellness Unleashed: Murror’s Beta App Now Live for Early Access!
With the holiday season upon us, we're so excited to unwrap the greatest gift of all: the launch of Murror's inaugural beta version!
Our team is buzzing with anticipation and enthusiasm to share this first version of our app with y’all. The timing couldn't be more fitting as we approach the end of the year — a time for reflection, growth, and new beginnings.
Stories: The Cornerstone of Murror’s Inclusive Vision
At Murror, inclusivity, shared voice, and teamwork drive our mission. Join our community in shaping the future of mental health by signing up here for exclusive early access to our app.
As many of you know, Murror is the brainchild of our CEO Astro Tran. Many of us were inspired to take part in the Murror mission after learning about how despite his success at Meta and Google, he, too, struggled with depression, suicidal ideation, and burnout.
I joined Murror after resonating strongly with Astro’s story of self-discovery and experimentation in his 20s. As the eldest daughter of two Vietnamese refugees, I found myself turning to the Internet for everything related to higher education. Working my way from community college to now medical school, I related to how Astro struggled with self-motivation while teaching himself with online resources early in his career. After finding myself in a brand new state without a support system for medical school, I related to how lost Astro felt when he moved from Vietnam to San Francisco.
Working under Dr. Vania Manipod, a psychiatrist and well-known blogger (shoutout to Freud and Fashion!) as the AI Development Lead on the Medical Team has been so fun. I learn new things every day and get to talk all the time about topics I love: AI, tech, ethics, psychology, and mental health! Dr. V is also exactly who I want to be one day: a super smart psychiatrist, an awesome mom, and a badass CMO of a digital health company. The fact that she’s also a Southeast Asian woman is just the cherry on top.
Harmony in Diversity: Uniting Voices through Shared Values
What has also been incredibly rewarding is seeing how passionate, kind, and creative everyone at Murror is. Murror has grown to 40 team members in under a year. The Slack channels are poppin’. With team members from all over the world and from a variety of backgrounds, it has been so cool to learn about so many different perspectives.
But it hasn’t always been easy.
For example, the Design team holds strong opinions about the product's appearance, placing immense emphasis on aesthetics and precision. They're sticklers for perfection, obsessing over every pixel and line until it’s just right. A crooked curve? Cue the redesign party!
Our syncs between the AI and medical squads sometimes resemble a bilingual comedy sketch. One side's all about the tech talk, while the other is dishing out medical jargon. It's like watching a sitcom — two different worlds trying to find common ground, complete with the occasional lost-in-translation moment.
Honestly, sometimes it is literally bilingual, with half the team Google-Meet-ing us from Vietnam and the others from the West.
But what holds us together is our company culture of mutual respect, teamwork, and shared values, stated candidly here by Astro on our Slack.
At the end of the day, we all just want one thing: to enhance quality of life for all.
As we face 2024 and look towards the future, Murror believes that AI and technology can be the key to better mental and emotional wellness — a way to become more connected to others and our inner selves.
But we never want to lose heart and soul as we forge this path forward towards more advanced mental healthcare. Just as Murror began with Astro’s story and has grown to include all of ours, we believe that your story can have an impact, too.
At Murror, inclusivity, shared voice, and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in creating a community where every voice matters, where diverse perspectives unite, and where teamwork drives meaningful change.
Join our inclusive community by signing up now for exclusive early access to our AI-driven wellness app.
Your input will shape the direction of our journey towards mental wellness for all. Let's unite our voices, work together, and create a space where everyone's well-being is prioritized.
