• Why The Happy Hour wanted to make mental health more accessible and less stigmatized
• How Vyten simplified the app-building process from daunting to doable
• Why starting with a minimum viable product (MVP) created clarity and client feedback loops
• How clients feel supported through push notifications and warm, branded experiences
• Why the real ROI lies in licensing the app to employers as a B2B channel
