Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team with basic audio/content production skills. Sell to English-speaking professionals in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and diaspora (US/UK) earning in hard currency.

How to build it
1. Record or license 20-30 original guided meditations (5-15 min each) + sleep stories in English, covering stress, anxiety, focus, and insomnia — use a USB mic, Audacity (free), and a quiet room. 2. Build a simple web app (Next.js + Supabase) with user auth, audio player, progress tracking, and a basic content library — do NOT build mobile app first. 3. Set up Stripe for USD billing and Paystack for NGN billing; launch freemium tier (3 free sessions, limited library) to reduce signup friction. 4. Launch on Product Hunt, Twitter, and African tech communities; get 100 paying users before adding features. 5. Use user feedback and retention metrics (listen time, churn) to decide: expand content library, add offline downloads, or launch mobile app.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigeria has low content production costs (audio recording, editing, voicing) compared to US/EU; massive untapped demand from diaspora and growing affluent middle class willing to pay in USD for mental health tools; Paystack gives local payment option; can undercut Headspace by 40-60% and still earn strong margins while maintaining quality.
