6th Mind VS Opalstack

6th Mind's answer

6th Mind is the only mental health app built from a real clinical practice with 500+ therapy sessions and 80%+ patient success rate. Unlike meditation apps, it uses clinically-validated AVE (Audio-Visual Entrainment) therapy developed by a psychiatrist and psychologist team. Our proprietary EEG Index™ methodology - based on actual brain activity measurements from patients - enables personalized treatment protocols with measurable outcomes, not just subjective "feel better" results.

6th Mind's answer

6th Mind was born from our clinical mental health practice in Sofia, Bulgaria. After treating 500+ patients for depression, anxiety, and burnout over 18 months with 80%+ success rate using AVE (Audio-Visual Entrainment) therapy, we realized something powerful: the same protocols that worked in our clinic could potentially work through a smartphone.

We saw that effective mental health therapy was inaccessible to most people - either too expensive, geographically limited, or required special equipment. Our psychiatrist and psychologist team spent months analyzing data from hundreds of clinical sessions to develop personalized protocols that could be delivered via any smartphone's camera flash and speakers.

Our mission is simple: make clinically-proven mental health therapy accessible to everyone, everywhere, for free. The app brings our clinical expertise into your pocket, transforming your phone into a therapeutic device backed by real clinical data, not just wellness trends.

6th Mind's answer

As a B2C mental health app focused on individual users, we serve thousands of people rather than traditional "enterprise customers". However, our user base includes:

• Individual users seeking free mental health support (current primary focus)

• Indie makers and solopreneurs dealing with burnout

• Tech professionals and developers experiencing work-related stress

• People who have tried medication or therapy but seek complementary approaches

Future B2B partnerships in development:

• Corporate wellness programs (employers seeking mental health solutions for employees)

• Psychologists and psychiatrists (using the app as between-session support for their patients)

• Universities and counseling centers (providing accessible mental health tools for students)

Note: We're currently B2C-focused with a free app. Our "biggest customers" are the hundreds of individuals who complete our 15-day protocol and see measurable improvements in their mental health. We're building toward B2B partnerships but haven't launched enterprise offerings yet.
