Imagine dropping out of school at the age of 16 to chase a vision - one that's deeply rooted in addressing a growing societal need.

With a passion for solving a problem that resonated with him from a young age, this entrepreneur left formal education to dedicate his efforts to building something bigger than himself.

His determination led to the founding of a mental health platform aimed at providing accessible, scalable care to those in need.

Backed by investors who believed in his vision, he successfully raised $20 million in funding, a testament to the urgency of the issue and the potential of his solution.

But how does one make such a bold leap, and what inspired this path?

Here's our conversation with Theodoric Chew, CEO and Co-Founder, Intellect.
