I Built a Mental Health SaaS for Entrepreneurs - Here's the Tech Stack

The Problem

72% of entrepreneurs report mental health concerns. But as someone who's been in the startup world, I've seen how traditional therapy often fails founders.

"Just take a vacation" doesn't work when you have:

  • Payroll to make
  • Investors to update
  • A team depending on you

The Solution: MindMelds

I built MindMelds - mental health support designed specifically for business owners.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 14 with App Router
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS (custom teal/indigo palette)
  • Hosting: Cloudflare Pages (static export)
  • Payments: Stripe Payment Links
  • Analytics: GA4
  • Version Control: Gitea

Key Features

  1. Expert Matching - Therapists who specialize in founder stress
  2. Wellness Dashboard - Track mood alongside productivity
  3. HIPAA Compliant - Healthcare-grade privacy
  4. Burnout Prevention - Early warning system

Pricing

  • Starter: $29/mo (2 consultations)
  • Professional: $79/mo (unlimited)
  • Enterprise: $199/mo (teams)

14-day free trial, no credit card required.

Lessons Learned

  1. Static export simplifies deployment but limits API routes
  2. Stripe Payment Links work great for static sites
  3. Tailwind's responsive classes are powerful

What's Next

  • User authentication (considering Clerk or Auth.js)
  • Mobile app
  • AI-powered mood insights

Would love feedback! What would make this more useful for you?
