The Aqua Capsule investor summary

The Problem:

The fitness and wellness industry is booming, but a significant gap exists for affordable, effective, and accessible hydrotherapy solutions. Professional-grade hydrotherapy equipment is often prohibitively expensive and bulky, while consumer-grade products lack the therapeutic power and engineering precision. This leaves a large and underserved market of individuals and smaller commercial venues (e.g., small gyms, physiotherapy clinics, boutique wellness centres) seeking high-quality, targeted recovery tools without the immense financial and spatial burden of traditional equipment like hydrotherapy pools or large spas. The current market forces people to choose between costly, complex professional systems and low-impact consumer products, with no viable middle ground.

The Solution:

The Aqua Pulse "Hydro-Stream" Capsule is our answer to this market need. It is a re-engineered, cost-effective upright hydrotherapy unit that delivers powerful, targeted muscle recovery in a compact and affordable form. Unlike existing solutions, our design has been streamlined to minimize manufacturing costs without compromising on therapeutic value. We have replaced the complex and expensive mechanics of our prototype with a simplified, durable design featuring a single, high-efficiency jet type and a fixed internal seat. The capsule's minimal footprint and plug-and-play functionality make it an ideal solution for both home users and commercial partners who want to offer a premium recovery service.

The Market Gap & Demand:

The demand for home and commercial wellness solutions is accelerating, driven by increasing health consciousness, a rise in sports-related injuries, and a growing recognition of hydrotherapy's benefits. The global hydrotherapy equipment market is projected to reach over $812 million by 2030, with a significant and growing share in the "hydrotherapy tub/bath" segment the category our product fits into. Our product directly addresses the gap between low-cost, low-impact consumer products and high-cost, high-maintenance professional systems, creating a new, accessible market segment. The target Australian market is willing to pay up to $1,400 AUD, confirming a strong demand for a product at our projected retail price.

Investor Contribution:

We are seeking an investment to fund the initial production run of 500 units of the Aqua Pulse "Hydro-Stream" Capsule. This capital will be used to cover manufacturing costs, initial logistics, and a targeted go-to-market strategy. We have identified reliable OEM partners in China capable of producing the units at a landed cost of approximately $650 AUD per unit. By securing an initial production run, we can achieve economies of scale and meet our target retail price point, ensuring strong profitability from the outset.

Timeline:

The project has a clear and aggressive timeline:

• Months 1-2 | Finalize manufacturing agreements, tooling, and quality assurance protocols.

• Months 3-4 | Commence full-scale manufacturing of the first 500 units.

• Month 5 | Begin logistics and shipping to Australia.

• Month | Launch the product with a pilot program for our key B2B partners and simultaneously initiate a direct-to-consumer marketing campaign.

This investment will not only bring a highly demanded product to market but also establish a scalable, profitable business positioned to become a leader in the personal wellness and recovery industry. Our meticulous planning and re-engineering efforts have de-risked the venture and created a clear path to profitability and market expansion.
