Business model

.SecretBox earns revenue from SaaS subscriptions ($99–$5,000/month for providers/insurers) and device sales ($15/unit). Insurers reimburse $5 per returned device, lowering net costs . :dollar:

Traction

Over the past six months, our startup SecretBox has created a 3D prototype, built a technology alliance with NVIDIA, filed for patents, and attracted significant attention from leading insurers. We are now in the process of developing our MVP.

PitchBob’s recommendation: "By the end of 18 months, we will have a functional MVP & SaaS platform, validated our product with pilot studies, confirmed FDA compliance, transitioned to initial production and gained early customers."

Metrics

Our key metrics encompass adherence rates, tamper detection cases, provider engagement and insurer interest along with device returns. With AI tracking, adherence has enhanced while insurance sector shows keenness. The MVP development is underway bolstered by supportive early data from pharmacies care-givers showing robust demand for the product.

SecretBox, still in its pre-revenue phase, is working towards raising $1.2M through SAFE for MVP development and initiatory pilots. We have projected a revenue of over $203M by the fifth year predominantly from SaaS subscriptions and device sales, aiming at a gross margin of roughly 70%. Our financial model points to reaching break-even within 18 months.
