Globally, the acupuncture industry is worth over 50 billion dollars yet the United States is lagging far behind with a market cap under 800 million dollars. Today, acupuncture is no longer a pseudoscience with a giant question mark. Enough studies have presented data that proves the short term and long term benefits of acupuncture. There are currently 3 million acupuncture patients receiving over 10 million treatments a year in the United States. Pinz believes there is an opportunity to make acupuncture more accessible and convenient via technology to help scale the industry and make acupuncture a top of mind option for treating various conditions. Think of a glorified Yelp + Uber app solely designed for connecting practitioners and patients via their phones.
