Original Value Proposition:
● Access to variety of
menopause experts
● Find effective and
holistic treatments
● Share the journey with
other women
We learned that most patients feel unsupported by their OBs
and burdened by having to find their own solutions instead
“OBs tend to prescribe a one-size-fits-all
solution; you have to seek out treatments
that are best for you.”
Women often have to seek out
menopause information on their
own
☑ validated (65% interviewees)
From tests we learned... From customer interviews we learned...
Week 2
We found that menopause care is an afterthought for a majority
of doctors
“I really just don’t have time to
listen to patients talk on about
their symptoms - I end up
asking closed questions.”
“Studying how to treat
menopause is less prioritized
than other [domains], like
obstetrics, chemo, surgeries.”
Week 2
Week 2
Can we FILL THE GAP between confused patients & physicians
by focusing on personalization and expertise…?
PAUSE empowers
menopausal women to
navigate this pivotal life
stage on their terms by
providing:
1) On-demand access
to dedicated care
providers
2) Menopause experts
3) Variety of
treatments
4) Resources
Our first major conclusion… menopause is really challenging!
Neither doctors nor patients really know what’s going on…!?

women in any stage of

Week 3
We believe that approx.
40%, or 11M menopausal
women fall into this
category
Source: Interviews
We learned that many women are cobbling together their own
holistic solutions and are seeking someone to work with them
“I spent a lot of time and
money researching different
approaches, finding the
supplements, and trying them
out”
“I would have liked having a
coach that could have
objectively told me the pros
and cons of different
treatment approaches”

WE BELIEVE THAT ALMOST 6M WOMEN COULD FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY
WE CALL THEM RABBIT HOLERS

What we thought:
We believed that customers would
be willing to pay $99 or more per
month for a comprehensive
subscription service
We ran an ad to test a $99 price point for bundled services
What we thought: Customers would be most interested in buying if the symptom-tracking app
and telehealth platform were released together.
What we did: Ran ad test for bundle subscription, talked to 9 patients and 3 telehealth startup
founders
$99/month price point
Landing page
Week 5-6
4% CTR (2x industry average)!
It seemed we’d hit a nerve, so we talked to women to find exactly what they liked
Week 5-6
4%!
We found that women were interested but something was
missing from our solution...
Interviews:
● Women need credibility in order to use a medical product.
● An app is lower-cost and easier to access than a telehealth platform.
Week 5-6
“Put this into an app - I’d love to
use it and know a few of my
friends that would as well”
“I journaled night sweats and
chills, so would be excited to try
out an app instead!”
“I would definitely use the
symptom tracker if it gave me
actionable insights into triggers”
… so we prioritized app development and
updated our revenue model
8. Revenue Streams
Subscription based telehealth platform with pricing tiers based on usage
(medical, support, planning and tracking)
Unbundled features in pricing model
8. Revenue Streams
- Patients:
- Symptom Tracking App: Subscription fee
- Telehealth: One time consultation or Subscription fee
- Providers/Employers/Payers
- Contract fee + fee/patient to put patients on platform
Rollout plan:
● Prioritize symptom tracking app.
● To build credibility, look into
work with providers/payers

D2C (primary)
Customers pay out of

What we thought:
● We should focus on building the
symptom tracking app first and work
on other partnerships later
● We can start with the app to to build
data + customer platform, and later roll
out telehealth
Google Ad Test: $5.99/month subscription on symptom
tracking app - 3.7% CTR!
Ad received no conversion
→ are patients not interested to enroll just
on the app? Is it due to lack in credibility? Week 6-7
“I would absolutely use the app if it
helps my doctor help me.”
“I would be open to talking to doctors if I knew they
specialized in menopause and were reliable”
“I would value the continuous management of my
symptoms with a ‘point person’ I can talk to”
“I would recommend my patients use
the app if they wanted to keep a pulse
on their symptoms”
“I would welcome a platform that
encouraged women to consider lifestyle
factors”
We also got out of the building and talked to:
Women value using this
app with a provider!
Providers think our app is
valuable in
complementing their care
9 PATIENTS 3 PROVIDERS
Week 6-7
We circled back to…
rolling out the app and telehealth together
Lesson learned:
-Combining the symptom tracking app and telehealth will be more attractive to customers.
-It may also be a way for us to build trust as we partner with providers from credible institutions.
-It’s too early to ask for credit card info (paywall) on ads. Our next ads should be for free trials.

● Women would be willing to

per session
Women want solutions but don’t seem to be willing to

“I would still to go to my
OB to be diagnosed with
menopause.”
“I would use telehealth if
it were covered by my
insurance.”
“I would pay upwards of
$200 for telehealth
menopause
appointments.”
So we talked to healthcare industry experts...
Weeks 8-9
“OBs do not want to deal with menopause.
I could see Doctor on Demand partnering
with you to provide women’s healthcare
for women in menopause and post-
menopause.”
- CMO, Major Telehealth Company
"Two dirty words in
gynecology are pelvic
pain and menopause."
- Physician

optimal...

“I would view a third party

“My OB takes a holistic approach
so I might only use telehealth
when I can’t get in to see the

“We spend plenty of time with our
patients to work through their
menopause journey and would not
need a partner.”

Lessons learned from our tests
☑ Menopause solutions and
treatments are still not providing
satisfactory treatment for 100% of
the women suffering
☑ Do not focus too much on no
conversions for paid product
☑ Do faster testing / more iterations
☑ Focus on iterating ads one step further
(information gathering)
☑ Test accessibility hypotheses → are
women able to get to an OB when they
need for menopause?

  • 7. We learned that most patients feel unsupported by their OBs and burdened by having to find their own solutions instead “OBs tend to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution; you have to seek out treatments that are best for you.” Women often have to seek out menopause information on their own ☑ validated (65% interviewees) From tests we learned... From customer interviews we learned... Week 2
  • 8. We found that menopause care is an afterthought for a majority of doctors “I really just don’t have time to listen to patients talk on about their symptoms - I end up asking closed questions.” “Studying how to treat menopause is less prioritized than other [domains], like obstetrics, chemo, surgeries.” Week 2
  • 9. Week 2 Can we FILL THE GAP between confused patients & physicians by focusing on personalization and expertise…? PAUSE empowers menopausal women to navigate this pivotal life stage on their terms by providing: 1) On-demand access to dedicated care providers 2) Menopause experts 3) Variety of treatments 4) Resources
  • 10. Our first major conclusion… menopause is really challenging! Neither doctors nor patients really know what’s going on…!? Week 2

  • 12. Through interviews we learned that anti-HRT women were more likely to seek out their own solutions & we discovered a bifurcation HORMONE-AVERSE WOMEN WITH SEVERE SYMPTOMS SEVERE SYMP- TOMS ANTI- HRT PROACT- IVE W/ HEALTH RABBIT HOLER SEVERE SYMP- TOMS ANTI- HRT APA- THETIC LOST PATIENT INITIAL TARGET CUSTOMER “DO IT WITH ME” “DO IT FOR ME” Week 3 We believe that approx. 40%, or 11M menopausal women fall into this category Source: Interviews
  • 13. We learned that many women are cobbling together their own holistic solutions and are seeking someone to work with them “I spent a lot of time and money researching different approaches, finding the supplements, and trying them out” “I would have liked having a coach that could have objectively told me the pros and cons of different treatment approaches” Week 3 WE BELIEVE THAT ALMOST 6M WOMEN COULD FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY WE CALL THEM RABBIT HOLERS Source: Interviews
  • 14. MOST COMPETITORS ADDRESS ONLY ONE PIECE OF THE MENOPAUSE STORY. OUR INTERVIEWS AND INSIGHTS TOLD US THAT WOMEN ARE LOOKING FOR A CARE ADVOCATE TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THIS LIFE TRANSITION. WE DESIGNED PAUSE TO ADDRESS THAT CORE NEED. Week 3

  • 18. Our journey continued… Week 3 THE 6M RABBIT HOLERS NEED OUR HELP! WOW, MENOPAUSE IS COMPLICATED!
  • 19. 9. Cost Structure Provider costs - understand D2C model, out of pocket vs insurance coverage, onboarding and training for doctors / service matter experts 8.

Key Resources Naturopathic doctors Software / platform (web app, iOS app) Telehealth license 5. Channels D2C Website (telehealth, community, care specialists, educational resources App (symptom tracker) Marketing channels: women’s health forums, clinicians, social media What we thought: We believed that customers would be willing to pay $99 or more per month for a comprehensive subscription service
  • 20. We ran an ad to test a $99 price point for bundled services What we thought: Customers would be most interested in buying if the symptom-tracking app and telehealth platform were released together. What we did: Ran ad test for bundle subscription, talked to 9 patients and 3 telehealth startup founders $99/month price point Landing page Week 5-6
  • 21. 4% CTR (2x industry average)! It seemed we’d hit a nerve, so we talked to women to find exactly what they liked Week 5-6 4%!
  • 22. We found that women were interested but something was missing from our solution... Interviews: ● Women need credibility in order to use a medical product. ● An app is lower-cost and easier to access than a telehealth platform. Week 5-6 “Put this into an app - I’d love to use it and know a few of my friends that would as well” “I journaled night sweats and chills, so would be excited to try out an app instead!” “I would definitely use the symptom tracker if it gave me actionable insights into triggers”
  • 23. … so we prioritized app development and updated our revenue model 8. Revenue Streams Subscription based telehealth platform with pricing tiers based on usage (medical, support, planning and tracking) Unbundled features in pricing model 8. Revenue Streams - Patients: - Symptom Tracking App: Subscription fee - Telehealth: One time consultation or Subscription fee - Providers/Employers/Payers - Contract fee + fee/patient to put patients on platform Rollout plan: ● Prioritize symptom tracking app. ● To build credibility, look into work with providers/payers Week 5-6
  • 24. We were starting to feel like we were headed in the right direction Week 5-6 THE 6M RABBIT HOLERS NEED OUR HELP!
  • 25. 9. Cost Structure Provider costs - understand D2C model, out of pocket vs insurance coverage, onboarding and training for doctors / service matter experts 8. Revenue Streams - Patients: - Symptom Tracking App: Subscription fee - Telehealth: One time consultation or Subscription fee - Providers/Employers/Payers - Contract fee + fee/patient to put patients on platform 7. Key Partners Health Experts - Psychologist Therapists ^Nutritionists -Meditation etc. Employers: employer benefit plans Payors: reimbursement Hospitals: use our product for their patients & referrals 5.Key Activities ● Product development ● Customer development ● Legal ● Space procurement ● Fundraise 1. Value Proposition “Save women time, money and emotional burden, by providing a dedicated care specialist and direction to right solution” “Alleviate symptoms and improve health outcomes using feedback loop of symptom tracking” 4 .Customer Relationships Get: Freemium, online ads, learner circles, provider referrals, WoM Keep: Care mgr., tracking & insights, community & expert speakers Grow: Subscription conversion, supplements, prescriptions, WoM 2. Customer Segments “The Rabbit Holer” Cobble together their own treatment plan in search of something that works for them “The Lost Patient” Unaware of treatment options and wants someone to put together plan for them “The Remote Patient” Lacks access to quality OB/GYNs or other women’s health providers Providers (Holistic) 6. Key Resources -providers: especially OB/GYNs who will serve as advisors -software/platform (web + iOS) -telehealth license 5. Channels D2C (primary) Customers pay out of pocket What we thought: ● We should focus on building the symptom tracking app first and work on other partnerships later ● We can start with the app to to build data + customer platform, and later roll out telehealth
  • 26. Google Ad Test: $5.99/month subscription on symptom tracking app - 3.7% CTR! Ad received no conversion → are patients not interested to enroll just on the app? Is it due to lack in credibility? Week 6-7
  • 27. “I would absolutely use the app if it helps my doctor help me.” “I would be open to talking to doctors if I knew they specialized in menopause and were reliable” “I would value the continuous management of my symptoms with a ‘point person’ I can talk to” “I would recommend my patients use the app if they wanted to keep a pulse on their symptoms” “I would welcome a platform that encouraged women to consider lifestyle factors” We also got out of the building and talked to: Women value using this app with a provider! Providers think our app is valuable in complementing their care 9 PATIENTS 3 PROVIDERS Week 6-7
  • 28. We circled back to… rolling out the app and telehealth together Lesson learned: -Combining the symptom tracking app and telehealth will be more attractive to customers. -It may also be a way for us to build trust as we partner with providers from credible institutions. -It’s too early to ask for credit card info (paywall) on ads. Our next ads should be for free trials. Week 6-7
  • 29. START WOW, MENOPAUSE IS COMPLICATED WE LOVE RABBIT HOLERS! FIRST COMES SYMPTOM TRACKING APP… THEN COMES TELEHEALTH JK… WOMEN WON’T PAY FOR APP ALONE - NEED TELEHEALTH NOW! Week 6-7 THE 6M RABBIT HOLERS NEED OUR HELP!

Key Resources -providers: especially OB/GYNs who will serve as advisors -software/platform (web + iOS) -telehealth license 5. Channels D2C (primary) Customers pay out of pocket What we thought: ● Women would be willing to get care directly from Pause ● Women would be willing to pay out of pocket for menopause care, with estimated costs of $100-200 per session
  • 31. Women want solutions but don’t seem to be willing to pay for solutions, as evidenced by our ads NO CONVERSIONS Weeks 8-9 $99 Menopause Telehealth Appts $5.99 / Month Symptom Tracking App
  • 32. And interview feedback from menopausal women Weeks 8-9 “I would still to go to my OB to be diagnosed with menopause.” “I would use telehealth if it were covered by my insurance.” “I would pay upwards of $200 for telehealth menopause appointments.”
  • 33. So we talked to healthcare industry experts... Weeks 8-9 “OBs do not want to deal with menopause. I could see Doctor on Demand partnering with you to provide women’s healthcare for women in menopause and post- menopause.” - CMO, Major Telehealth Company "Two dirty words in gynecology are pelvic pain and menopause." - Physician
  • 34. … thought that initially targeting providers may be optimal... Weeks 8-9 THE 6M RABBIT HOLERS NEED OUR HELP!
  • 35. …and decided to test a B2B model 5. Channels D2C (primary) Customers pay out of pocket 5. Channels B2B (primary) Doctors “prescribe” Pause as a partner in menopause patient care D2C (secondary) Customers pay out of pocket Weeks 8-9
  • 36. Then we talked to many more providers and patients Weeks 8-9 “I would view a third party menopause partner as a threat, but some providers may not.” “My OB takes a holistic approach so I might only use telehealth when I can’t get in to see the doctor.” “We spend plenty of time with our patients to work through their menopause journey and would not need a partner.”

Interviews & Ads / CTR Go-forward plan PAUSE Summary
