Tech CEO found dead two years after he took an Uber ride and disappeared (msn.com)

Sober Grid is a digital health company providing mental health addiction care around the world in over 170 countries (according to wikipedia). It is labeled as a Geosocial Networking App to provide realtime support for people who are in need of support from their peers if there is drug, alcohol, or mental health crisis.
I find that so dope, to be honest. With the stage of the game we are in with so many people who are in need of help, I guess you gotta create the change you want to see.
