Burnt out from the stress of running a startup, Kim turned to meditation to help her unwind.

Dismayed at the lack of options available from other meditation apps, Kim decided to build her own meditation platform, [14] Simple Habit, in 2016. [15]The company offers a wide selection of meditation guides for all aspects of life and offers a subscription based service for customers. [14]In 2017, Simple Habit was part of Y Combinator's Winter Batch. [15]
