THE PROBLEM WE ARE BUILDING FOR
Family life happens across too many places.
Coordination becomes work
Chores, calendars and holiday planning compete for attention across disconnected tools.
Sharing needs trust
Families need to know who can see a moment—and who can manage their household.
Problem statements are product hypotheses to validate with families, not measured market findings.
A FIVE-MINUTE PRODUCT STORY
THE BUSINESS THESIS
Win a celebration. Earn a place in everyday life.
Enter through an occasion
A family gift exchange gives a host a concrete reason to invite their extended family.

Guests can discover Nearstead and consider a subscription for their own household.
Acquisition hypothesis · unvalidatedPlanned revenue: monthly and annual household subscriptions
PayPal is the intended payment provider. Pricing, checkout and paid conversion are not implemented. Approved shopping affiliations and provider services are future opportunities, not current revenue.

Work ahead
Production authentication, database/media infrastructure, video conversion, billing, child-account governance, accessibility and launch-country reviews.
Local synthetic prototype. Automated tests are not production certification. No customer, revenue, retention or market-size claims are made.
WHAT WE NEED TO PROVE NEXT
A focused pilot with measurable learning.
Participation
Can a teen and a grandparent each post or react without assistance?
Retention
Do invited households keep sharing and organizing after their first celebration?
Willingness to pay
Which benefits make a household choose a monthly or annual subscription?
Pilot measures and funding allocation are proposed. Baselines, targets, budget and investment terms remain to be agreed.
