Brightlamp

Brightlamp | The Five-Second Neurological Vital

https://www.reflexapp.io/

 

Description of Business

Bringing innovation to the digital medical device market, Reflex Pro is a neurological testing and clinical support tool for medical practitioners working with concussion patients and more. Since launching Reflex in 2019, the company has experienced at least 180% growth from 2019 to 2022 and is seeking funding to scale in step with customer demand. Our team has developed what we believe is the most powerful pupillometer technology on the market – able to measure the eye’s reaction to light and provide neurological results using a mobile app in seconds. Reflex is a Class I 510(k) Exempt medical device under 21 CFR 886.1700 and should only be used by licensed medical professionals.

 

Reasons to Invest

• The patented proprietary tech behind Reflex Pro is what’s known as Software as a Medical Device (SaaMD, the company also has a standing license for all of its direct competitor’s pupillometer patents). What makes the tool unique is that it doesn’t require any peripheral hardware to obtain valuable neurological vital metrics. ​​Medical personnel can download the software, create an account, and administer testing quickly, using only their smartphone.
• Reflex and the company’s associated services will leverage momentum and a growing marketplace. Currently the digital health sector is expected to reach $551B by 2027, with a double-digit CAGR of 16.5%.* We are also providing a new rapid scale solution within the market for neurological biomarkers, which was valued at over $6B in 2020, and growing at a rate of 12.9%.* 
• In just a few short years, the Reflex team has quickly established viability, growing the company’s gross revenue by 180+% annually. A major third-party publication with a population over 20,000 proves Reflex as a biomarker of concussion, while also obtaining third-party validation in clinical studies backed by the National Institutes of Health* and the Department of Defense.*

Zendo

Zendo | A Wearable Neuromodulation Device That’s Disrupting the Wellness Industry

https://zendomeditation.com/

 

Description of Business

Zendo is here to make meditation easy – giving users an almost immediate and transformative benefit without any prior experience or training required. Using gentle neurostimulation, our patent-pending device activates the parts of the brain involved in expert meditation practice. Created by an internationally recognized team of doctors and long-time meditators in Charleston, South Carolina, Zendo has been scientifically demonstrated to be 2.5X more effective than meditation apps and reduces stress by 75% in a single session. Zendo is currently being used to enhance human wellness, performance, and transformation. Having sold out of our public beta, join Zendo now as we are building the newest Zendo, a wireless headband with a companion app that is poised to disrupt the wellness industry. This next generation headset is currently in development and is planned to be released in 2023.

 

Reasons to Invest

• Meditation is Hard and Ripe for Innovation: The wellness industry is a $1.5T market. Between 200 – 500 million people meditate globally, but we believe technology like apps and trackers haven’t made meditation easier. In one study, it was found that 92% of a leading meditation app’s users quit using the app within 30 days. This is primarily due to the lack of immediate benefits and a difficult learning curve associated with meditation practice. Even with high quit rates and limited effectiveness, leading meditation app companies are worth billions of dollars. There is a clear need for technology to make meditation easier to allow users to gain the benefits of meditation immediately.
• Scientifically Researched to Make Meditation Easier: We believe Zendo is the world’s first and only neurostimulation system that makes meditation easier and its benefits immediately accessible in less than 20 minutes. Zendo is a wearable device that uses tDCS-technology, which we have researched and scientifically demonstrated to be 2.5X more effective than meditation apps and can reduce stress by 75% in 20 minutes. Zendo was created by academic neuroscientists and doctors who have a deep passion for meditation, and all StartEngine investors that invest at least $1,500 will receive a special founder’s edition Zendo system for free when the next-gen Zendo launches.
• There’s a Demand: The initial Zendo public beta sold out faster than anticipated. We are currently building a new Zendo. This next-gen Zendo is being developed to include a proprietary wireless headband that works with a companion meditation app and is ready to be marketed to a waitlist of over 3,000 people. Additionally, there are three exciting Zendo collaborations are in progress, including 1) Zendo will be used at the US Performance Center to incorporate Zendo into Olympic athlete mental training; 2) We are launching an exciting retail meditation offering in conjunction with Still Studio, Charleston’s first meditation studio, with plans to expand our in-person and virtual offerings; and 3) We plan to incorporate Oura Ring API into the Zendo App, allowing Zendo users to track their biometric data during their Zendo meditation sessions for an individually tailored experience. Lastly, Brookstone buyers intend to list the newest Zendo device on the Brookstone.com, which will expand our consumer sales network.
