REASONS TO INVEST

Wellness has become a top priority for consumers, resulting in a $260 billion industry expected to grow to over $600 billion by 2026.

Our amazing founders, partners, and medical advisors have built a personalized holistic digital wellness platform with multiple revenue channels and revenue streams including our own branded practitioner-grade Non-GMO, Allergen-Free line of quality tested supplement product

Within the first two months of launch, PepsiCo, Censia, Indecomm, MetricStream, FactorLaw, and Lifebalance have signed up to offer our products and services to employees and their family members.

Delivering Better Health to Consumers Everywhere 


We designed a personalized digital wellness program rooted in functional medicine. According to our research, we are one of the first holistic, personalized digital wellness programs that is rooted in Functional Medicine and can be leveraged from anywhere, anytime.




We use functional medicine to uniquely focus on the root imbalance in our customers’ core physiology. This allows us to deliver a holistic solution including food, supplements and lifestyle guidance.



Our proprietary wellness assessment is designed by doctors and functional medicine practitioners with a combined experience of over 200 years.

THE PROBLEM


The Growing Wellness Market Lacks Guidance

Consumers are getting sick with processed foods and toxic environments and are trapped in the symptom management approach of traditional medicine.



Consumers want to move to natural and organic choices to manage their health but do not know how to navigate the complex wellness market. Did you know 77% of adults take supplements, but 80% of that group does so without any professional advice?

Source



Overall, there is a lot of confusion surrounding diets, supplements & choices, and people who turn to DIY wellness often face negative outcomes. 

THE SOLUTION


Delivering Personalized Wellness Plans to Consumers

We created a personalized Digital Wellness program rooted in functional medicine to help consumers navigate the growing, complex wellness market. Functional Medicine uses tools like personalized lifestyle changes, diet, and supplements to support the imbalances in one’s core physiology at an individual level.



In order to join our program, an individual first takes a proprietary online  assessment. They will immediately receive their assessment outcome for free and then have two choices:

  1. Join a personalized Wellness Plan that includes:

  • A food plan with recipes and a weekly meal plan

  • 3 to 5 supplements delivered to your home

  • Lifestyle guidance and tools

  • Wellness Coaching sessions

  • 60 day check-ins for continued adaptation of  the wellness plan to the individual


  1. Simply buy the recommended supplements and take them on their own. 


We also allow individuals who already know what their body needs to use our platform to buy supplements. 


Our Wellness Program is subscription based, generating an ongoing monthly recurring revenue stream. 


Our Corporate Wellness Program

As we launch, we are offering our Wellness Program and supplement products to companies for their employees and family members. A company can offer our program as a voluntary benefit (at no cost to the company) or as a subsidized benefit. 



Individuals not affiliated with a participating company can also take advantage of our products and services.

THE MARKET


A Unique Approach in a Fast-Growing Industry


The global wellness market is currently over $200 billion and is projected to grow to over $500 billion by 2026.


This includes the  $140 billion supplement market growing at 8.6% CAGR to $278 billion by 2024, and the complementary and alternative medicine market of over  $80 billion growing at a CAGR of 22% to a projected $404 billion by 2028.

The corporate wellness market is valued at  $57 billion and expected to grow at a 6.8% CAGR to over $90 billion by 2026. 

How We Stack Up to the Competition

There are a number of players in the corporate wellness space, but most of them are traditional worksite wellness programs that focus on food and/or exercise.



As a holistic corporate personalized digital wellness program, our approach is rooted in Functional Medicine. Our program uniquely focuses on the root imbalance in an individual's core physiology and the solution has a 3 pronged approach which includes diet plans with recipes, supplements and lifestyle guidance.



Our proprietary assessment is designed by doctors and Functional Medicine practitioners with combined experience of over 200 years. And our research based practitioner grade quality tested line of supplement products are designed by doctors, nutritionists and scientists and are manufactured at a GMP Certified facility in the United States.

We have also partnered with American Benefits Consulting, which supports over 120 Fortune 500 companies for health and wellness benefits and begun engagement with medical practices to support supplement needs for their patients.

hronic illness drives 85% of the US healthcare costs, so it’s no wonder consumers are so focused on their health today.

As we acquire unbiased health data, we will use machine learning to develop more precise assessment outcomes and start to offer specific chronic health condition programs to our client base.


Each of our founders has experienced life altering results by adopting Functional Medicine in their own lives, and we are passionate about bringing functional medicine based Wellness Programs to all people at a price point that is affordable and costs less than a Starbucks coffee a day.

WHY STARTENGINE?

REWARDS

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!

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.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Bulletin Board ("SE BB") is a bulletin board platform that advertises interest in shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings. SE BB enables shareholders to communicate interest in potential sales of shares in private companies and investors to discover, review, and potentially invest in private companies. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. SE BB is distinct and separate from StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”), which is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by SE Primary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. While a security may be displayed on the bulletin board, these securities will be subject to certain restrictions which may prevent the ability to buy and sell these securities in a timely manner, if at all. Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on the bulletin board, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
