Maika turns 30-second face scans into personalized AI music micro-pauses — reducing stress and boosting focus. Science-backed recovery that fits inside any workday, for teams and individuals.
Current Status
Maika is backed by Innosuisse and Venture Kick, accepted into Tenity, NVIDIA Inception, and Google for Startups, and is actively piloting with a major health insurer. A first distribution partner in Asia is confirmed, with launch set for July 2026.
Market
Problem or Opportunity
Burnout and chronic stress cost employers $322B annually — yet wellness tools fail because they demand behavior change. Maika is different: it works with listening to music, a habit employees already have. The problem isn't motivation, it's that existing tools aren't embedded in what people actually do.
Solution (product or service)
Maika uses a quick face scan to read real-time biometrics — heart rate variability, stress, and respiratory patterns — then generates a personalized AI music micro-pause of 60–120 seconds. The closed loop of measure, adapt, and feedback makes every session smarter, turning a simple music break into a trackable recovery moment that fits naturally into the workday.

Business model
Maika operates on a B2B SaaS model, selling directly to companies and through insurance partners. Pricing scales with team size — from CHF 4.95/user/month for small teams down to CHF 2.95 for large organizations. Distribution is led by health insurers embedding Maika in corporate wellness programs, with a sales partner already in place for an Asia launch in July. The $70B global corporate wellness market grows at 7% CAGR with a 4x ROI benchmark — making Maika a financially compelling add-on for HR and insurance buyers.
