Amy Wu, founder of the mental health app Manifest, believes that technology can help combat loneliness among Gen Z. The seed-stage startup has raised $3.4 million to create a platform that allows users to express their feelings and receive AI-generated affirmations. With a staggering 73% of young adults reporting feelings of loneliness, Manifest offers bite-sized wellness interactions through an engaging interface. While not a replacement for professional help, Wu hopes the app provides a comforting space for young people navigating their emotional challenges.
