Company Summary

MindBody Sessions is a powerful streaming media platform poised to bring mindfulness and meditation to millions of people. The simple skills of mindfulness and meditation are easy for anyone to learn and they bring enormous benefits to every aspect of health and well-being. MindBody Sessions will be a leader in this $4B and growing space.

Mindbody Sessions makes its money on subscriptions. In addition to individual subscriptions we sell subscriptions to corporate wellness departments, hospitals, and universities.

Our initial strategy has involved running pilot programs at various kinds of organizations. We have launched or are about to launch pilots at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Alameda Health Systems, SUNY, NYU, Quantcast, North-Shore/LIJ, possibly the NYPD, Colorado Health Services where we were invited by Linda Newell a state senator. We’re approved to launch an affiliate program which offers MindBody Sessions at a discount to all employees of UPS and Walmart.

We raised $300K in a founders round. I’m raising another $250K in this Seed Round. Our plan is to continue to learn from these pilots and to begin lean customer acquisition efforts to get the cash register ringing. We don't want to try to scale too soon. After a little more UX tweaking and fine tuning market fit we will raise a larger round and take this business to scale.
