What has been written about 7 Cups, from our Y Combinator launch in 2013 to today.

We all need emotional support from time to time. Our vision is that one day, every single person will have their own listener. With the help of technology, 7 Cups is bringing together caring people who want to help others with those who just need to talk to someone. Help us spread the word. Give peace of mind to people in need of a kind ear, heartfelt compassion and real understanding.
