Our approach is to design meaningful moments and parable-like experiences that support self-discovery.At DaddioTime, men can connect with a coach who will assess their needs - their unique situation, and then tee up targeted experiences and meaningful dialogue, along with all the right gear to drive it home. Because men need actionable intel, and kids need an active dad who engages with clarity and grace.I embarked on this mission because, as a father, I wanted a resource to help make my limited family time more purposeful. I want to seize every moment and inject it with fun while supporting the socio-emotional development of my kids. I want them to have strong character. I want them to be confident, capable, and kind. I want them to be happy. DaddioTime is that resource, and I hope men everywhere can leverage it to bond, inculcate their values, and raise a happy family.• Led the development of a commercially viable and self-sustaining resource to address children's mental health, focusing on engaging fathers as a primary influence on social and emotional development.• Collaborated with stakeholders to define strategic objectives and prioritize features based on user research and stakeholder input.• Created and managed the business model, fundraising efforts, investor relationships, branding, website design, overseas development team, and AB testing.
