The problem
People caring for a sick or elderly relative lack practical information, time to learn, and a place to talk without being judged.
The solution
An online subscription: short practical videos, guides, monthly video support groups led by a professional, and peer support between members.
Your customers
Working or retired family carers; later, employers and social protection bodies wanting to support their caring staff or members.
How you make money
9 to 15 € per month for individuals; company licence at 3 to 6 € per caring employee per month.
Competition
Free charities and public services, social media discussion groups, books and video channels, a few specialised platforms.
Who has an edge
A psychologist, social worker or nurse who has cared for a relative, credible and able to lead a community with warmth.
The risks
Never diagnose or provide therapy without the required title; sensitive data protection; low willingness to pay versus free options; slow customer acquisition.

How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €1,600 − costs €400 = €1,200 net per month. Revenue: 80 subscribers × €12 + 1 company × 160 employees × €4. Costs: platform, guest experts, advertising, payment fees, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
