Our story

No one should struggle in silence.

We started Solace because, as college students, we've seen how easy it is for people to feel isolated—even when surrounded by others. Between academic pressure, constant digital noise, and the unspoken struggles our friends face, we realized that emotional wellbeing often takes a back seat. We wanted to change that.

With Solace, we're building AI that doesn't just listen, but truly understands—helping people feel heard, supported, and less alone in this chaotic world.

Best,

Kelly & Sarah
