Greta McAnany I'm a VC backed entrepreneur + empath with media roots who believes innovation should serve our most human needs- I think mental health is the greatest challenge of our generation and the most promising space to build is the intersection of technology and our well-being💫I've spent the last 10 years working at the intersection of media, wellness and tech with a youth focus. Right now I'm building toward a future with more humane tech through my company Blue Fever: an AI mental health guide peer well-being community for Gen Z/Alpha.
I began my career in Hollywood 🎥 by starting my own production company that produced award-winning films released on major streaming platforms like Netflix/Amazon and in theaters. I brought these films from inception to production & distribution. As a filmmaker, I was a recipient of film grants from Morgan Freeman’ Rock River Foundation, Chicken & Egg Pictures and the prestigious Thornton Foundation. I then made the move into Tech because I saw how media would be dependent on technology for scale and distribution 🚀 AND how it would impact our well-being.
I’ve spent the past couple years building my own startup Blue Fever that has supported over half a million young people through millions of life moments 👯. I have become a Gen Z expert + thought leader who advises companies in the youth digital wellness space. I've been featured in Techcrunch, Forbes, Masters of Scale podcast and presented at Google, SXSW, Out Web Fest, Silicon Beach Fest and various universities. I spend my (professional) time 1) 🧠thinking about the future of digital identity and how platforms create and maintain trust online 2)🛠building solutions for this generation's well-being needs that create both social and financial value 3)🙇‍♀️learning about all the above 👆and how to be a better and more effective leader and coach.
