Invest in the greater good by investing in DOcurious, the first-of-its-kind challenge platform that fosters emotional, social and cognitive growth among people of all ages. We're part of the frontline, not the sidelines. Join us!

Our Purpose

We believe thriving starts with doing. And we exist to fight the loneliness, boredom, and mental health crisis caused by excessive screen use by inspiring people to live better offline. We connect people by replacing passive screen time with goal-oriented, real-life experiences that help them (re)discover confidence, connection, purpose, and pride in themselves.

How We Help

DOcurious is a new type of marketplace offering goal-oriented activities, based on the principles of positive psychology, that help people increase their sense of belonging, accomplishment, and happiness while helping them learn new skills that will last a lifetime. Those skills apply in school, at home, in communities and in social circles. The DOCurious roster of activities has been curated based on the science of improving autonomy, competence, and relatedness in our users. Our founders include both medical doctors and experts in human psychology. .

Who We Help

The problem DOcurious solves impacts all people in all walks of life and social strata, but particularly young people. It’s in the news every day, and it probably happens in your own home: people worldwide are spending too much time on their devices, and it’s taking its toll on their mental health. Excessive screen time is a major contributor to loneliness, lack of self-esteem, and depression and those impacts cascade into other ill-effects.

The $40B Problem We’re Tackling

The mental impacts of screen-related loneliness, lack of self-esteem and depression also have financial impacts for young people, their families, schools, communities and society. For example, according to Contemporary Pediatrics, medical pediatric mental spending for children with mental health conditions increased 31% from 2017-2021. Spending on pediatric mental health conditions reached $31 billion in 2021. This spending has continued to increase by an astonishing 33% in just five years to an estimated $41B in 2026. That same study estimated that 9 million children have a mental health condition that impacts 34 million family members (about 10% of all people in the US).

Target Audiences & Partners

DOcurious addresses the problems caused by overscreening through offering our innovative activity marketplace and related services to key customer sets, such as schools, parents and adults. Schools spend over $20B annually on extracurricular activities, and families spend up to $1,000 per child each year on extracurricular activities. The adult activity market in the US is $200B annually. Sponsors and affiliates richen the variety of challenges we offer; those companies and organizations benefit from creating positive brand equity that connects with target audiences.
Schools and organizations to help improve students’ lives (many of which seek cost-effective ways to boost curriculums), to improve community relations, for fundraising and to bolster their image and brand.
Parents and guardians that may buy DOcurious activities for their own children.
People that buy DOcurious activities as gifts for others.
Companies and organizations that sponsor activities (i.e., an outdoor gear company that sponsors a hiking activity) for social image and revenue-generating reasons.
Affiliate companies that market their goods through the marketplace (DOers buy something–like a model kit–from one of these companies as part of an activity and DOcurious is compensated).
