INVEST IN KAZU BY WELLNESS INSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. TODAY!
Our interactive device and AI-enabled platform work with you to dispense precision doses, provide personalized guidance, and track results, improving your health and wellness outcomes.
We have filed ten patents for our technology, manufactured thousands of first-generation units for study purposes, and created production tooling, positioning us to create a new category at the intersection of the multi-billion dollar health technology, medicine, and supplements markets.
The value we deliver increases over time as platform adoption grows and our AI learns from a growing user base, allowing us to continuously offer new and improved services and products as our technology develops.
the pitch
We at Wellness Insight Technologies developed Kazu, a handheld interactive device that dispenses personalized amounts of medicines and supplements to optimize health and wellness. The Kazu platform includes pods (consumables) and an AI-enabled app. Kazu provides personalized dosing insights, tracks progress, and addresses a myriad of the shortcomings of industrialized medicine. We are initially targeting the millions of self-care consumers who use CBD and melatonin for sleep, stress, relief, and more. Since our launch, we have invested in 5 years of R&D, developed products for pharma companies, filed 10 patents, manufactured thousands of first-generation units, and completed production tooling. The Kazu product is not yet available on the market.
Overview
*The above is a rendering of the Kazu product that is not yet available on the market.
Kazu brings the connected-health revolution to a range of markets, including natural medicines, dietary supplements, and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals. We funded the R&D process through revenue generated from development agreements with a number of pharmaceutical companies. We have manufactured thousands of first-generation units for third-party study purposes and have completed production tooling for the consumer launch version. With this raise, we will make our software user-friendly, secure inventory, and execute our go-to market strategy.
The Problem & Our solution
Personalized medicine achieves better health outcomes through precise doses that are tailored to each individual, but remains too expensive, inaccessible, and even unavailable for many of the most common issues. Moreover, today's industrialized medicine is based on averages, providing a one-size-fits-all approach that may or may not fit with your unique physiology. The result is that many people either overmedicate and waste money or consume too little of what they need to achieve optimal results.
*The above is a rendering of the Kazu product that is not yet available on the market.
We enable our users to precisely control their own doses with personalized AI-enabled guidance derived from their own unique characteristics. Our platform combines a handheld device with an interactive touchscreen, a variety of pre-filled CBD and melatonin pods, and a Bluetooth-connected mobile app to allow our users to take charge of their own health and wellness.
the market & Our Traction
We are creating a new category that intersects health technology, medicine, and supplements. The closest comparison is the wearable medical device market, projected to reach $196 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 26.4% (Source). Meanwhile, the natural medicine and dietary supplements market is expected to reach $313 billion by 2028. Within this are our launch categories. The CBD category alone is estimated to reach $56 billion in 2028 with a CAGR of 47.5%, and the sleep aid medication category is projected to grow to $33 billion by 2030 (Source | Source).

*The above is a rendering of the Kazu product that is not yet available on the market.
We have 10 issued and pending patents, 14 design registrations, 5 issued and pending trademarks, and a number of copyrights and trade secrets. After 5 years of R&D, we have manufactured over 12,000 fully functional first-generation pods and devices for study purposes. And our efforts resulted in a partnership announcement for a distinct product with Perrigo, a major pharmaceutical company.
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 define the legal framework for making health claims about dietary supplements. In the United States, dietary supplement manufacturers are allowed to make certain health claims about their products under certain circumstances, but there are strict regulations that must be followed. The Company intends to comply with these regulations. Additionally, the FDA has established good manufacturing practices (GMPs) that companies must follow to help ensure the identity, purity, strength, and composition of their dietary supplements. Wellness Insight Technologies Inc partners with manufacturers and suppliers who have implemented GMPs. However, dietary supplements, including botanicals, do not require FDA approval. Kazu is not a medical device, is not intended to treat illness or disease, and does not dispense FDA approved drugs. The Kazu device does not alter the composition of dietary supplements and botanicals it dispenses. For these reasons, FDA approval of the Kazu device is not required. Should the Company see an opportunity to work with FDA approved drugs in the future, it will undertake the necessary approval process.
Why Invest
Consumer acceptance of personalized health technology is evidenced by the myriad of products that measure our bodies. But we see a huge market gap; none of these products measure and track the medicines and supplements we put into our bodies. Our initial launch will focus on CBD and melatonin in the DTC channel, but we see endless future applications including vitamins, prescription drugs, psychedelics, aromatherapy, and more. In the long term, we envision Kazu setting a new standard for dosing across natural medicines, supplements, and regulated pharmaceuticals. With half a decade of R&D and a standout team of highly experienced leaders and advisors, we are positioned to connect people to their own wellness like never before.
Kazu brings health and wellness into the future with an AI-enabled, handheld interactive device that dispenses personalized doses of medicines and supplements to achieve better results. The platform includes pods (consumables) and a connected mobile app. With thousands of first-gen units already built and production tooling complete, we are ready to move toward commercialization. The Kazu product is not yet available on the market.

What is Simple Agreement for Future Equity?
A Simple Agreement for Future Equity offers you the right to receive Class B Common Stock in Wellness Insight Technologies, Inc..

As a condition to the purchase of this instrument, upon the issuance of shares of the Crowdfunding Stock (the “Securities”), the Investor agrees that the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), or his or her successor, is appointed as the Investor’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to, consistent with this instrument and on behalf of the Investor, (i) vote all Securities, at any time and from time, on any matter for which approval of the holders of the Company’s stock is sought or upon which such holders are otherwise entitled to vote or consent (ii) give and receive notices and communications, (iii) execute any instrument or document that the CEO determines is necessary or appropriate in the exercise of its authority under this instrument, and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the CEO for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

Hi everyone!
I’d like to highlight how Kazu stacks up against our competition - the status quo. There’s no comparison. Existing solutions have been around for decades, well before we entered the digital age. The “modern” medicine dropper, for example, was literally invented in 1957. And none of these solutions offer the ability to precisely personalize doses, automatically track consumption, and analyze outcomes. It’s 2023 for heavens sake! Let’s bring the consumption of medicines and supplements into the modern age. What are we waiting for?

Hi everyone!
I thought it would be good to take the opportunity to highlight how we make money. Kazu is a complete system with opportunities to monetize various elements across the platform. The base of the business is the device and consumable pods. Users will have a smart-subscription option where they can automatically receive new pods based on how full their current ones are, similar to how printer ink subscriptions work. And like most consumable businesses, the pods will be our higher margin products. As our users grow to love the platform, we plan to introduce premium features on a subscription basis, providing additional revenue opportunities.
If you haven’t done it yet, invest today. Time is running out to get the early bird incentives!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
