Our Story
About Us
Watch Me Rise was founded in 2016 by Gareth Kropman and Daniel van der Merwe after they decided to branch away from their long-time careers in IT to focus on a more worthwhile cause. They wanted to help people fulfill their truest potential by living not only their full length of life but the width of it as well.
Watch Me Rise is a platform intended to transform Gareth and Daniel’s joy and passion for helping, leading, and motivating into a global movement to raise awareness around mental health and to help YOU develop the best version of yourself.
