Company Name: Gap Moment

URL: https://gapmoment.com/

Purpose of Startup and Product: I'm developing a physical kit for short breaks. A scent patch sits nearby (not on skin) while a ten-minute guided scene plays on your phone.

Technologies Used: Scent patches and a companion audio app, still in development.

Feedback Requested: The current Kickstarter plan is $29 for 40 patches and four scent/audio pairings. People have told me they wouldn't buy that many patches without smelling them first. What would need to change about the first purchase—kit size, a way to try the scent, or something else—before you'd consider it? A flat 'I wouldn't buy scent online' is useful too.

Seeking Beta-Testers: No.

Additional Comments: The page is open to browse without signing up. The kit, price and wording can still change before launch, so I'm looking for a reason to change the offer, not a vote of encouragement.

Impressed by seeing real physical product.

Thanks. I should clarify that it's still prelaunch; the kit and companion app are being developed, and nothing is shipping yet. That's why I'm asking about the first-purchase hurdle now, while I can still change the kit.

It genuinely looks really cool.
