Keas would be a nice addition to a wellness program to promote health with a company's employees. The bigger the company the better. You need a bigger audience to make it more fun and engaging. However adoption is hard to accomplish within a big organization. Also you might be spending too much time on this.

Keas has an interesting and unique product, I don't think there's too much competition in the space that directly competes with Keas. It's something you either implement or you don't.
