Koda

Distraction-free screen curation for child-friendly waiting rooms

#SaaS#B2B#Mobile App#Healthtech#Reddit

Pediatric clinics, daycares, and family resorts struggle with default streaming apps that expose children to high-stimulation tantrums, inappropriate ads, and toxic algorithmic recommendations while waiting for appointments.

Koda provides a central B2B streaming management dashboard that allows business owners to curate calm, certified educational, and brand-aligned video playlists for their lobby screens. By integrating with YouTube, Vimeo, and custom cloud storage, Koda strips away addictive feeds, auto-plays, and intrusive advertisements to deliver a pure, curated viewing experience. Businesses can remotely control hundreds of screens, schedule specific therapeutic content blocks, and insert custom promotional slides seamlessly between shows.

Our vision is to become the global standard for child-friendly spatial media management, ensuring safe digital environments in physical business spaces.

Problem
  • When I manage a pediatric dental clinic, I want to keep children calm and distracted in the waiting room, but default streaming apps expose them to addictive recommendation loops, loud ads, and inappropriate content that trigger anxiety and tantrums.
  • Why Now: Increasing consumer backlash against high-stimulation sensory overload in children's media combined with strict COPPA laws making unstructured public screen access a liability for hospitality and medical spaces.
Solution
  • High-level concept: Apple TV for kids-focused businesses, enabling fully customized, brand-safe, and low-stimulation video environments on any smart display.
  • Zero-Ad Wrapper: Instantly wraps streaming platform feeds to strip out all mid-roll advertisements, external recommendation feeds, and auto-play triggers.
  • Curated Content Playlists: Access to a licensing-compliant library of pre-screened, slow-paced educational content categorized by sensory-calming metrics.
  • Centralized Device Control: A unified prosumer dashboard to schedule, sync, and deploy safe media layouts across 10 to 100+ screens simultaneously.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: Independent pediatric dentists, modern private preschools, and luxury family resorts aiming to improve their waiting area experience.
  • Guerrilla Channel 1: Partnering with regional medical office layout design agencies and dental hardware distributors to bundle Koda subscriptions with screen hardware installations.
  • Guerrilla Channel 2: Targeted direct outbound campaigns to medical practice managers on LinkedIn by offering a free 14-day digital safety audit of their lobbies.
  • Guerrilla Channel 3: Exhibiting live at major early-childhood development expos to run live, dramatic side-by-side comparisons of standard streaming vs. Koda calming environments.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: A 14-day free trial on 1 screen, a Starter tier at $49 per month for up to 5 screens with basic playlists, and an Enterprise tier starting at $199 per month for unlimited displays and custom promotional scheduling.
  • One Metric That Matters (OMTM): Monthly Active Screens (MAS) actively broadcasting curated loops for a minimum of 4 hours per business day.
Scale Costs
  • Direct content licensing fees paid to independent creators and educational animation studios for commercial distribution rights.
  • Scale-related CDN and low-latency API proxy infrastructure costs to stream high-definition video feeds seamlessly to thousands of concurrent devices.
