COMPANY: Brainstate

ELEVATOR PITCH

The app that helps you relax whenever you want.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Brainstate is a mobile application available on iOS created to help with meditation, relaxation, sleep and studying. Although originally created as a school project to help students reduce stress and anxiety, it is not limited to students. Binaural beats can be used by all ages. The ideal user is anyone and everyone.

Binaural beats are frequencies that are played in each ear that must be listened to with headphones in order to work. Each headphone plays a different frequency and you hear the difference between those two frequencies, created the ‘beat’ sound. These frequencies imitate naturally occurring frequencies that happen in our brain every day and whichever frequency you listen to will give you the desired effect that the frequency is associated with

DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION

Our competitors are other app developers on the Apple App Store; specifically other developers who have created binaural beats apps. Our app is different from any other binaural beats app on the store because it offers a very large range of frequencies and pitches to choose from and it is very educational. Someone who doesn’t know how to use binaural beats may become lost with the other apps, but Brainstate teaches the average person all they need to know.

BUSINESS MODEL
