Market Analysis

Solution Overview

This app allows users to build and encrypt their family tree, then share access with anyone via their mobile number. It combines privacy-focused encryption with simple sharing, making genealogy accessible and secure.

Problem Statement

Existing family tree platforms are either too public or require complex account setup for sharing. People want an easy, private way to share their family history with relatives without exposing data publicly.

Key Features

Encrypted family tree storage
Share via mobile number
Interactive tree builder
Cross-platform web and mobile
Privacy settings and access control
SMS invitation linking

Market Snapshot

Market Size: $4.5 billion (genealogy services, growing 6% annually)
Target Users: Individuals and families interested in ancestry, especially those who value privacy
Growth Rate: 6% annually

Monetization Ideas

Freemium Subscription: Free basic tree (up to 50 people); premium for unlimited, advanced encryption, and analytics.
One-Time Purchase: Pay-per-tree or one-time fee for premium encryption and download options.
Affiliate Marketing: Partner with DNA testing services or genealogy archives for referral commissions.

Competitive Edge

Unlike Ancestry or MyHeritage, this app focuses on encrypted, mobile-number-based sharing, reducing privacy risks and simplifying access. It targets users who are wary of large databases and want to keep their tree within their family circle.

Risk Factors

Strong competition from established genealogy platforms with vast databases
User trust in encryption and data security is critical; any breach could be fatal
Acquiring users without a viral mechanism; sharing via mobile number is novel but may have adoption friction
