Monthly revenue context
From July to October, we successfully achieved 9 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) sales before we had to temporarily pause sign-ups and initiate refunds due to the necessity of expanding our team. Currently operating in a BETA phase, our objective was to validate whether members were willing to commit to a monthly subscription fee, and the positive response has confirmed market receptivity. This period of initial sales provided us with crucial insights into our user base's preferences and willingness to invest in their wellness journey through MANA. In addition to our subscription model, we bolstered our brand presence through the sale of merchandise, achieving 20 sales. This not only contributed to our non-recurring revenue but also played a crucial role in solidifying our branding among our community. Looking ahead, our post-BETA phase will introduce a Base subscription priced at €14.95 per month, offering access to our platform and community. The Premium subscription, at €79.95, will be re-introduced with added value, including a dedicated coach for subscribers. We are also preparing to expand our revenue model to include Full service, B2B, and Gym collaboration options, each designed to cater to different segments of our growing user base and to further diversify our revenue streams.

Key Achievements

  • Within just six months, and with minimal marketing initiatives, we've successfully attracted over 750 users to our beta phase. These dedicated users have collectively accumulated over 41.000 MANA points, demonstrating high engagement and the effectiveness of our platform in motivating wellness activities. A particularly notable achievement has been our ability to secure 9 Elite subscriptions (€79.95 pm.), a clear indicator of our product's value and the market's willingness to pay for enhanced features, achieved without any targeted marketing efforts. This signifies that these users sought out our platform on their own initiative. This success has highlighted the necessity for team expansion to ensure we continue to provide exceptional support and develop our offerings. Moreover, our venture into merchandising, including shirts and accessories, has validated our monetization strategy, confirming our community's interest in supporting the MANA brand beyond the digital platform. The positive reception to our merchandise also reflects the strong brand identity we've built, resonating with young audiences who aspire to be part of the MANA community and showcasing our community's loyalty. MANA has received an endorsement from the Dutch government, which awarded us a grant in recognition of our innovative approach to encouraging youth wellness. This not only acknowledges our efforts but also positions us favorably for further governmental support and collaboration. Adding to our achievements, the engagement metrics from our platform have been very positive: - Habits Completed: Over 32.000, showcasing our users' commitment to their wellness journeys. - XP Earned: Over 377.000, highlighting the gamified aspect of our platform that keeps users motivated. - Mindset Routines Completed: 526, underscoring the importance of mental health in our community. - Trainings Logged: 8.800, reflecting active participation in physical wellness activities. - Top Level Member: Reached level 36, showcasing the dedication and progress of our most engaged users. Collectively, these achievements highlight not just MANA's growth and user engagement but also our strategic ability to scale, understand our customer acquisition channels, and monetize our community effectively. With governmental support and a growing user base, MANA is well-positioned to make a lasting impact on wellness at both a personal and societal level.
