Two months postpartum. Four hours of sleep. A startup to run.

Nobody on the other side of the screen knew.
Then I tried something.

Twenty minutes later, my head went quiet.
Not caffeine quiet. Actually quiet.
No crash. No anxiety. Just present.

I thought this is the only thing worth building.
Not an app that tracks your burnout.
Something that fixes it.

Twenty minutes. While you work.
500+ users. 92% efficacy. Kickstarter in May 2026.

has never backed a neurotech startup. I'm here to change that.

Today I'm at YC Startup School Bangalore in a room with 2,000 carefully curated founders and the energy is exactly what you'd expect when the world's best builders get in one place.

But here's what's running through my head.

The most powerful accelerator in the world hasn't touched consumer neurostimulation yet. No closed-loop neuromodulation. No brain-computer wearables. No on-device AI for the nervous system. That's not an oversight that's a wide open category waiting for someone to define it.

We're building that at .cult Sychedelic. A consumer-grade headphone that combines tDCS neurostimulation, binaural beats, and live HRV biofeedback closed-loop, on-device AI, CDSCO-approved (Indian FDA). Patents filed in 150+ countries. Already in the market

A category disruptor in a space YC hasn't entered. Yet.

5 years as a founder taught me a lot. But the one thing I never let go of - never stop learning. Never stop networking.

YC startup school is a gold mine for both and I'll take that over any boardroom any day.

You have to keep showing up. Even when especially when you think you already know enough.

If you're here today and we're connected — drop me a DM. Would love to find you in the crowd and catch up.

Building the future of the brain wearables.

Building a company with your husband
is not for everyone.
It wasn't supposed to be for us either.
Here we are.

Still building. Still married.
Both harder than expected.
Both more worth it than we imagined.

Brahmi works. Lion’s Mane works.
Your body just gets in tway.
Stomach acid. Liver. Blood-brain barrier.
That’s three filters between the herb and your neurons.
tDCS skips all of it.
Direct to your cortex. No lag. No guesswork.
The problem was never the plant.
It was always the delivery.
