Inuka is a small social enterprise with the mission to make mental health support accessible especially in low and middle income countries. We have created a platform on which we connect people in mental distress with life coaches who are trained on a proven method.
The platform has a JAVA backend with microservices and front-end android only.
The startup is a spin-off a fortune 500 multinational and aims to launch in Kenya and the Netherlands this year and conquer the world after that.
We own the platform and IP. You would work with a (we believe but come see for yourself!) fun social enterprise startup, with the aim to make mental support more accessible and affordable, especially in low and middle income countries. We prefer to build a long-term partnership.
