About Us
We are a team of five students from around the globe: Canada, Portugal, France, the USA, and Germany, brought together by a shared passion for making a positive social impact. Our journey began at the European Innovation Academy in Porto, when we all got together because we envisioned creating something truly innovative that addresses one of our generation’s biggest challenges: social media overuse and the effects it has on our mental health. This is why we created Sunflowr. Our app is not just another tool that blocks access to social platforms. Instead, we aim to inspire lasting change by encouraging users to explore local events, connect with friends, and embrace the offline world. By aligning interests with real-world experiences, we hope to nurture meaningful connections and create awareness around healthier digital habits. Our mission is to make a difference, one event at a time, by helping people find balance between their online and offline lives.
