Invest in the Future of Meaningful Connections

StayCon tackles a real problem: loneliness and social isolation are affecting people's mental health, and they don't have practical tools to maintain meaningful connections.

What we've built

A relationship wellness platform that combines contact management with mental wellbeing tracking. Users manage their connections, track their mood over time, and receive insights about how their relationships affect their mental health.

The platform includes:

Contact management with relationship types, connection frequency preferences, and automatic overdue alerts.
Smart reminders with kanban-style task management (To Do, Scheduled, Completed) and calendar views.
AI message generator with customisable occasions, tone selection, and direct sharing to WhatsApp, SMS, or email.
Wellbeing dashboard with a 1-10 score based on connection activity, interaction frequency metrics, and contact diversity tracking.
Daily motivational greetings and wellbeing tasks to build connection habits.
Points system with achievement badges for milestones and streak tracking for consecutive days of connection.
AI-powered insights with personalised recommendations, mood correlation analysis, and conversation starters.
Curated reading library on relationships, mental health, and self-care with scientific references.

Why this works

This isn't another social media platform. StayCon is a personal CRM for real life, combined with wellbeing tracking that shows users how their relationships affect their mental health.

The gamification keeps users engaged, but it's tied to genuine outcomes: improved wellbeing scores, stronger relationship patterns, and more frequent meaningful connections. We're building habits that research shows improve mental health: regular social contact, diverse social networks, and consistent relationship maintenance.

The business model

B2C Freemium: Free personal use with premium features for advanced AI insights, enhanced analytics, and priority support.

Target users include:

Busy professionals struggling to maintain friendships.
People recovering from isolation or rebuilding social networks.
Anyone wanting to improve mental wellbeing through better social habits.
Individuals who recognise that connection matters but need systems to maintain it.

Future B2B expansion: We're developing a Support Mode where partner organisations (charities, councils, community groups, mental health services) can reach and support the people they serve.

This module will offer:

Multi-language support for diverse communities
Customisable guidance stages that organisations can adapt to their needs
Resource libraries where partners can share trusted documents and information
Q&A and help sections where people can get support
Partner profiles and directories so people can discover and connect with relevant organisations
Tools for organisations to build engagement and direct people to their services

This positions StayCon as a platform for organisations to gain visibility, build their audience, and deliver meaningful support to the communities they serve. Whether that's charities supporting vulnerable populations, councils delivering community services, or mental health organisations reaching people who need help, StayCon becomes the connection point between organisations and the people they're trying to reach.

The market opportunity

The mental health app market is projected to reach £4.5 billion globally by 2027, growing at 16% annually. In the UK alone, the NHS spent £15.3 billion on mental health services in 2022/23, with loneliness recognised as a major public health issue affecting 1 in 4 adults.

Social prescribing is expanding rapidly across the UK, with the NHS aiming to refer 900,000 people to social prescribing services by 2024. Local councils and charities are investing heavily in community wellbeing programmes, but they lack effective digital tools to deliver support at scale.

Mental health apps are growing, but most focus on meditation, therapy, or symptom tracking. Social connection is recognised as fundamental to mental health, yet there's no major player helping people actually maintain relationships. StayCon sits at the intersection of personal wellness, relationship management, and social prescribing infrastructure, a space that's currently underserved.

What we're looking for

Investment to scale the B2C platform and build out our B2B partner infrastructure. We're looking for backers who understand that mental wellbeing through meaningful connection isn't just a trend, it's a basic human need that technology hasn't properly addressed yet.

We're building the tool that helps people actually stay connected to the people who matter most.
