Hi! We’re Sophonaut.

<aside> 🧑‍🚀 This is a startup on a mission to build the “wellness layer of the world” and increase the resiliency of the social fabric of society. Don’t worry, we’re not just bleeding hearts. We want to make money doing this. You too can get great returns and feel good about it.

Problem (with the current wellness space)

  1. The best current providers of custom guidance to users (e.g. life coaches and therapists) are too expensive for most people to afford AND
  2. Finding the right practitioner, getting to a place where progress can be made, then finally making progress takes too long.

<aside> 🧑‍🚀 Founder note: We have felt this personally, and when situations are more dire relating to depression or suicidal thoughts, time is of the essence and you don’t want ANY barriers blocking someone who needs support.

Solution

  1. Stage 1: A life coaching marketplace to establish near term, low risk revenue and generate training data for…

  2. Stage 2: our high growth consumer application which is the life coach in your pocket

    <aside> 🧑‍🚀 Founder note: We are making wellness accessible to all by providing a life coach in everyone’s pocket, that helps them overcome anxiety and achieve their goals based on their behavior tendencies and life constraints. We are doing this in two stages

    </aside>

Stage 1: The Coaching platform

  1. Our matchmaking algorithm will reduce the number of iterations a user has to take before finding a coach that works for them. It will do this by pairing them with someone who speaks their language and has the strengths to bolster the user's weaknesses and account for their blind spots of why they've been failing in the pursuit of their goal to date. This saves the user 40% on cost and a month of precious time getting them to greater wellness.
  2. This improved matchmaking is based on our core behavior model which we’ve already built. It reveals 30 core aspects of human behavior, and the strengths and weaknesses associated with each. So not only does this give us a leg up in providing qualified leads to coaches, it gives the coaches a tool to improve the quality of guidance they provide their clients.

Stage 2: Consumer App

  1. On top of laying the financial foundation to build the consumer app, the coaching platform will also provide the data necessary to train the AI used in the consumer app, which is where the exponential upside is.
  2. Specifically, the notes life coaches take on the success pathways they provided their clients that both worked and failed, paired with the user's behavior profile is what would feed the recommendation engine, or the “pocket life coach”.
  3. Packaging this into an app makes this solution significantly cheaper, and enables people to proceed as quickly as they desire.
  4. In the case of both the coaching platform and consumer app, user onboarding provides them with a behavioral thumbprint which shows their strengths and weaknesses I mentioned, and reveals to them the specific areas in which they are lacking wellness. The user OWNS this data and it follows them wherever they go, which is especially helpful if they need a new coach as it speeds up the onboarding process. And increases client comfort in data privacy as they own the notes on their progress.
