Numa
Numa is building an immersive wellness platform that transforms a catalog of over 10,000 human-made music recordings into personalized experiences for sleep, focus, and recovery. The company delivers these experiences through a mobile app, partnerships with hotels, cruise lines, and airlines, and dedicated listening spaces that combine spatial sound, vibration, and light. Numa is currently conducting a controlled clinical study with a leading U.S. brain research institute to validate its approach.

Problem
Conventional wellness products often fail to deliver meaningful physiological or psychological benefits because they lack rigorous audio engineering and scientific grounding. Many sound-based tools for focus, relaxation, and recovery rely on generic audio tracks without personalization or evidence-based design, limiting their effectiveness and user adoption.
Solution
Numa provides a portfolio of audio engineering solutions intentionally designed to support human performance and wellness states. The company develops structured sound programs and acoustic environments that leverage principles from biomechanics, psychoacoustics, and neuroscience to influence physiological states such as heart rate, breathing, and cognitive focus. By integrating proprietary sound design with accessible digital delivery, Numa enables individuals to incorporate clinically inspired audio practices into daily routines without specialized equipment. The platform emphasizes repeatable, measurable audio protocols that users can deploy across various contexts, from work sessions to sleep preparation.
Target Audience
Primary users are health-conscious professionals, athletes, and individuals seeking science-backed audio tools for cognitive enhancement, relaxation, and performance recovery. The company also targets hotels, cruise lines, automotive OEMs, airlines, and consumer electronics companies as distribution partners.
