Endorsed by world-leading health app evaluator
Founder Ania Wysocka envisions Rootd becoming one of the most widely used anxiety and panic attack resources, trusted by millions in Canada and worldwide. And she’s not far off from that dream. Named one of the Best Apps for Anxiety by Healthline, Cosmopolitan and Time Magazine, Rootd is already helping thousands of people worldwide.
The app has been downloaded by 500,000 users across 150 countries, and earned a ORCHA recommendation to the UK’s National Health Service. That’s a serious endorsement from the world’s leading health app evaluation organization. ORCHA helps governments, health and social care organizations choose and deliver health apps.
Where the Competition fits in
The New Ventures BC Competition, presented by Innovate BC was a very attractive opportunity for Rootd, so Founder Ania Wysocka worked hard to earn her Top 10 spot. She believes the competition will help showcase the value of supporting bootstrapped female founders, and looks forward to the recognition, funding opportunities and networking that come with being one of the competition’s finalists.
Humble beginnings
But Rootd wasn’t Ania’s first venture into entrepreneurship. As a child, Ania set up an art gallery at her grandparents’ house in Poland. She charged a small fee for family and friends to view her paintings, even hiring a younger neighbour to find her additional patrons. Her employee was paid in bubblegum. She credits this bit of childhood fun with sparking her taste for entrepreneurship, and hasn’t slowed down since.
