Get rewarded for investing more into MentalHappy Inc:
The Problem
Very few people are raised with adequate tools and resources to combat mental illness, anxiety, and depression. Despite years of research proving the value of talk therapy and social support among other treatments for mental illness, there is still a stigma surrounding traditional therapy.
In addition, the healthcare system in our country is so convoluted and expensive to manage that many of us are simply unable to find the help we need. Untreated mental illness costs the US Healthcare system around $300 billion annually. Not to mention the interference with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and our personal relationships.
The Solution
We provide a secure place for sharing that is designed to assist people on their healing journey by helping build a positive mindset and alleviate their inner turmoil.
We also offer digital toolkits with guided content for self-coping and self-relief, as well as access to licensed professionals for online coaching.
With actionable life plans, motivational messages, community access for social support, and lower premiums we are striving to make mental healthcare an accessible and stigma-free reality for everyone.
The Market
The market for those who need assistance with their mental health is quite vast. Worldwide projections claim that the preventative healthcare market will reach $240B by 2025. The global telemedicine market size is valued at USD 40.11 billion in 2018 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 20.54% for the ensuing years.
It’s important to note that these projections were made before the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting mass migration to telemedicine (as well as the spike in need for mental wellness tools).
Our Traction
We have a letter of intent with Angle Health and a customer relationship with Devoted Health l.
We also have existing relationships with over 30 employers (Who have agreed to offer our product to their employees) such as SAP Concur, Boston Scientific, and eBay.
Leveraging those partnerships, as well as our proud sponsorship to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), we project that we will be able to kickstart our community with 100K+ early adopters.
What We Do
The most important factor for increasing mental well-being is creating better habits, a more optimistic outlook, and tools to handle life’s trials and tribulations. We teach people practical steps to enable them to deal with stress, fight negative thoughts, as well as promote self-awareness and confidence. And we hone in on the significant positive impact of social support.
We help people on their healing journey.
The Business Model
We monetize with a simple subscription model that charges individuals and employers $7/person each month. Additionally, we partner with Health Insurance providers to provide our services to their member-customers.
How We Are Different
Apps and plans can only go so far. Most apps seek to maximize usership while limiting human interaction.
We combine human connection with practical tools that emphasize the massively helpful nature of connection and social support, resulting in powerful effects on mental health.
The Vision
With the confluence of telemedicine’s rise and the larger society’s increased emphasis on mental health, apps like ours will be the future.
We offer the most humanity-focused approach. We’re rising above the field and plan to become the leader of the Holistic Care sector of the wellness market in the next five years, starting from our partnerships with large employers and insurance companies.
