Q

“Everyone, and a few startups in front of you, say they can monetize the data they collect. What’s your plan?

A

We do not plan on monetizing our data. We have a huge invesetment in the privacy and security of our community members. If the information that our platform facilitates (about the motivations, habits, shortcomings and deepest desires of our people) ended up in the wrong hands, it could be detrimentally used to exploit our members.

Q

Wow … Can you explain your business model. Why is it like this?”

A

Apart from the cost associated with developing and managing our software product, we pay our coaches as independent service providers for each session that they do. That requires us to have a recurring form of income to cover that continued expense. For that reason, a subscription model is more appropriate for our expenses and needs.

Q

How is your company promoting or planning to sell its products or services?”

A

Two of our biggest channels for promotion include our partnerships and alliances, along with our event programming. Our partnerships get us in front of thousands of active customers within our target demographics, and our free events allow us to attract customers into our funnel. The goal with our partnerships, notably, our partnerships with wellness providers like the YMCA, is to expand our collaboration with the organization (of which there are 2,700 locations in the U.S. alone). With over 13 million adults, we benefit from gaining even a small portion of their members.
