Company mission
PSYT's mission is to help individuals live happy, fulfilling and productive lives.
Our take
PSYT aims to help improve psychological well-being through the use of live training and technology by translating valuable psychological knowledge from academia into easy-to-understand, action-based summaries designed to help individuals put the advice into practice.
94% of Millennials and Gen Z are committed to making personal improvements. Whilst self-development books can be inspiring and informative, the challenge lies in actually changing behaviours based on their information.
In moving toward digital, digestible mediums, PSYT is not threatening traditional books, but is working with authors and publishers to promote their content. It is led by Headspace alumni and is backed by advisors from leading companies in the market such as Headspace, Masterclass and Audible.
With this substantial industry experience and having observed a gap in the current market, the company has the potential to build a significant business that impacts millions across the globe.
