THE COMPANY
We build software that allows colleges to create an online community that’s equipped with tools to improve student wellness.
Our mission is to build all the tools our customers and users need to be superheroes for our students. We aim to change the stressful culture of education by contextualizing it within student well-being and we hope this impact can be seen globally. We don’t just want students to reduce their stress and increase their physical activity, we want them to live on their own terms and truly thrive!
The U.S. student wellness market is worth $2.5B. Globally, it could be as high as $50B and is projected to grow 25% compounded YoY through 2025. We started building an MVP in January 2022 and landed our first customer in May! Since then, we've hacked together a wellness coaching solution and we're expecting to release a case study in January 2023! We're impact-driven!
We earned over $10k in our first year of business and we're aiming for $90k in 2023. We're moving and learning fast!
