we have one & it’s awesome!
Our vision.
Combatting the loneliness
epidemic in Gen Z…
We designed Veré to help young adults navigate the growing sense of isolation in a hyper-digital world. With increasing time spent online and reduced face-to-face interactions, many struggle to form deep, meaningful friendships.
We aim to bridge that gap by creating a community focused on authentic relationships and personal growth.
A supportive digital community
and personal growth…
With our Discord community and engaging challenge cards, Veré offers a safe space for users to share their journey, get feedback, and tackle challenges together.
Whether through meaningful discussions, virtual events, or connections made through the weekly challenges, Veré blends online interaction with offline action to help users grow emotionally and socially, preparing them for real-world connections.
THE STORY BEHIND
The Team
CO-FOUNDER
Chinaza Onungwa
Hey! You can call me Chinaza, a pre-med psychology student at UT Austin, currently wrapping up my last semester as I get ready to dive full-time into the health/mental health startup space before medical school. I’m passionate about creating meaningful change, whether through business, mentorship, or addressing mental health issues.
I love learning—whether it’s picking up languages like Spanish and Mandarin or playing around with YouTube content creation. You could say I’m always looking for ways to turn challenges into opportunities. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie—I love finding ways to keep life exciting. I could be exploring new places through travel or diving into something new every week. Either way, I’m all about keeping things fresh. I also enjoy playing sports to stay active and push myself, which ties into my love for variety and challenges. At the end of the day, my goal is to leave a lasting impact, and I believe that every experience adds something valuable to that mission.

Building social skills
and confidence…
Many Gen Z individuals are entering adulthood with heightened social anxiety, fear of judgment, and a loss of crucial interpersonal skills. Veré provides interactive challenges that push users out of their comfort zones—whether it’s taking initiative in friendships, overcoming fear of public speaking, or confronting social comparisons. By fostering these experiences, we help users build confidence in real-world interactions.
