Joon CEO Emily Pesce is driven to do something meaningful to arrest the mental health crisis facing young adults. Her professional experience at Amazon and Nerdy gave her the tools, confidence and resources to get it done. And she draws on her experience as a trans woman to empathize with marginalized people.

Joon is gaining traction, including a recent partnership with the city of Seattle to provide access to online mental healthcare for teens and young adults.
