Today’s story is about Theodoric Chew, the founder of Intellect. Intellect is a mental health platform supporting over 4 million users across more than 100 countries worldwide. It has received investments from notable firms like Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and Insignia Ventures.
Theodoric began his entrepreneurial journey while still a student. His first startup was successfully exited just two years after launch. This experience led him to decide not to attend university. By the age of 20, he was already leading marketing at a company, later became a VC, and started his second company at just 23. He places great value on execution—on simply doing. In this video, he shares the mindset he had when launching Intellect.
