Our Mission

"Inspire a sense of community amongst strangers while supporting mental health."

We plan to achieve our mission by selling merchandise that people can wear to convey that they are open to interacting with anyone. In doing this, we hope to increase the frequency of random, micro-interactions between people, which has proven health benefits such as an increased sense of belonging, mental sharpness, decreased sense of loneliness, and improved trust. 

 

We hope to propagate our hat and our brand as a universal symbol that people will be able to recognize as both an opportunity for spontaneous interaction as well as a proponent of mental health. 

Our Numeric, Long-Term Goal

Since Talk2Me was founded in the Bay Area, CA, we started spreading our message around San Francisco and then started expanding to other nearby regions. One day, we hope to spread our influence across the country, and ultimately achieve the following milestone: 

If the equivalent number of people who live in CA purchased our hat, we would be able to donate $194 Million to mental health, making us one of the most charitable organizations to mental health in America.
