The Problem:
Burnout is a growing problem, with studies showing that up to 77% of professionals experience it at some point, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. Many solutions focus on the individual level, but burnout is a relational issue that must be addressed at both the individual and organizational levels.

Market Opportunity:
Companies are increasingly investing in solutions to address mental health as a way to boost productivity and retention. The global corporate wellness market is expected to grow to $97 billion by 2027.
Our initial target will be SMEs; HR teams, business leaders, managers, and employees.
Solution:
AI-driven coaching, insights, and a gamified wellness application to drive behavioral change at both individual and organizational levels.
