Axel, Founder of OUT

hi, i'm axel.
i'm still in the fight.

i'm 22 years old. i study computation and cognitive science at MIT. i'm on a gap year in Mexico City because i needed to survive before i could go back to performing.

i'm not building OUT because i figured it out. i'm building it because i'm still figuring it out. clinical depression diagnosed at 20. substances to cope. a brain that forgot how to work. i know what it feels like when staying alive takes everything you have.

sober. training every day. eating real food. sleeping on a schedule. writing this from the other side of the worst year of my life. not because i'm healed, but because the daily practice works. and i want to give it to every man who needs it.

OUT isn't a therapy app. it's not a motivational brand. it's infrastructure for staying human. built by someone who needs it just as much as you do.
