Through an app, members operate as “a community of kindness”.  They encourage one another, offer everyone a place to share thoughts and feelings, and send loving messages of support.

Kindsouls CEO Omeed Tabiei is no stranger to social innovation.  As an attorney and serial entrepreneur, his resume includes working with the Washington, D.C. small-business community as managing director of Think First Local DC, and as corporate counsel to Hyperloop, in Los Angeles.

And with Kindsouls, which just did its full launch in March, Omeed is using technology to help others navigate through the sometimes-crazy experience that is daily life.

Omeed talked about his background, the experience that led him to create Kindsouls and how the application works.
