Our Story
HeyEVA was born from a shared experience: we, a group of college students across Texas, witnessed our grandparents struggle with technology. We saw firsthand how confusing the digital world can be for older generations, especially in households like ours. Driven by a passion for change, we came together to create a solution. HeyEVA isn’t just an app—it’s our mission to help our grandparents and others like them navigate technology with confidence. We believe everyone deserves to be part of the digital age, and we’re here to make that happen.
