Problem or Opportunity

Women have been disproportionally hit by the pandemic, 80% of women feel that they are not good enough, 88% feels pressure to be perfect. Resulting in our wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters are feeling overwhelmed, insecure, anxious and mentally drained.
Meditation helps, but when I search for a meditation app tailored to my specific needs as a woman, I couldn't find one. Current meditation apps are not good in building a lasting habit, loosing 95% of their users in the first month.

Solution (product or service)

Silatha is the only meditation app deeply focused on women’s emotional well-being, through the unique technique of Anchor Meditation. Women go through big changes in life, such as pregnancy, being a new mum, facing inequality at work, menopause to name a few. It can be overwhelming. Silatha is a uniquely designed meditation app to help women reduce stress and cope with any challenges life may throw at them. Using anchor meditation which results in a 5 times higher retention rate.

Competitors

Calm: officially a meditation app, but they became more of a sleeping app. Their target focus is wide and they don't manage so far to build a meditation habit for their users. For them to add a physical object would mean to 1. Change their business plan and 2. Change all their meditations, basically start a new business. On top, having a physical item, isn’t practical for sleep meditations.
Headspace: First meditation app, but they lost focus, they integrated sports, music and things like dog grooming, or origami. Their app became quite fussy and hard to navigate, because of that they are losing market share.
Waking up: Sam Harris is known and has a very scientifical approach with his meditation app, mainly attracting a male audience and focussed on a target group that wants to go into the deep stages of meditation. With topics like awakening, they are not addressing the big mass.
Insight Timer: meditation app with relatively a lot of free content, with that there is a lot of low quality audio and when through the clutter, you finally find a teacher that you like, the offer of that teacher is limited.
There are other meditation apps, but none of them is creating a community and offering a method that really makes meditation stick. It’s unlikely for them to copy, because this would mean a total new business model and change of all meditations (as we link to the object in each meditations), also an app focussed on a wide audience, will not only focus on female topics as this would alienate male users.
