Episode description
This week, James is joined by Jana Dowling, founder and CEO of the preventative mental health-tech company, Arkeo. Previously a standup comic, Jana Downling found her way to entrepreneurship via a severe depressive episode. In her recovery, Jana started tracking her mental health and based on the data she was collecting on herself, she was back into work within 6 weeks. She then started social enterprise hiring and training other sufferers of mental health issues and eventually wanted to build a mental fitness brand - a Fitbit for the brain. Jana started Arkeo Sept 2018 - initially raised 100k and has now closed £1M in VC funding.
