Market Size & Validations

Compare a country or region against the global 18+ population model. The current launch scope remains the United States; international values are forward-looking illustrations, not current serviceable markets.

Metric United States Global

Target Market (TAM • SAM • SOM)

Reproducible population model: eligible adults × $60 annual membership × stated adoption assumption.

Scope United States Global
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 for the United States and states; UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant for 2026 international and global 18+ projections. TAM uses 100% of eligible adults; SAM uses a stated 10% serviceable assumption; SOM uses a stated 1% initial adoption assumption. The common $60 USD-equivalent international comparison is illustrative, not approved local pricing. Non-U.S. subdivision labels support geographic narrowing but remain unquantified until a comparable official 18+ subdivision input is loaded.

Business Model

$60/year membership. Built for trust & security; company revenue comes from annual platform membership. Meeting and Forum third-party costs are accounted for separately. Stablemate takes no commission from member-to-member earnings.

Full transparency No ads No hidden fees No resale No schemes

Meeting Pricing & Security

Illustrative 1:1 Payment Model

  • Payment example: Illustrates the meeting price and domestic-card processing allocation
  • Meeting price: $50/hr × 2 = $100
  • Illustrative gross charge: $101.62
  • Domestic card fee: $3.25 at 2.9% + $0.30
  • Illustrative equal allocation: seeker $1.62; provider $1.63
  • Provider net: $98.37; Stablemate commission: $0
  • Control: the actual checkout quote and ledger, not this example, govern

Payout Status

  • Payment flow: Stripe-hosted meeting authorization, Stripe Connect receiving-account setup, settlement, and dispute handling
  • Standard payout: Timing is controlled by Stripe, account, country, and bank
  • Instant Payout: Optional for eligible accounts when enabled; provider pays Stripe's disclosed fee

Broadcast Forums

  • Technical room maximum: up to 50 participants under current Twilio Video documentation.
  • Current list price: $0.004 per participant-minute.
  • Examples: one participant-hour = $0.24; 50 participant-hours = $12.00.
  • Host pays: total relay cost; audience pays $0.
  • Access policy: host controls and Forum permissions are distinct from technical capacity.

Notes for Clarity

  • Cost model: 1:1 = provider’s hourly rate; Forums = attendee hours.
  • At-cost video example: a two-person, 60-minute room is $0.48 at the cited Twilio list price.
  • Communications-service failure: must not erase Forum identity, chat, attendance, billing, or settlement history.
  • In-person: travel, logistics, and appearance expenses.
  • Security: TLS transport, authorization, scoped access, and auditable records; no blanket end-to-end-encryption claim.
  • Accountability: attendance, reimbursement, tax incentive.

Market Adoption: Go-To-Market

Grassroots

  • Adult study groups & clubs: member-led learning, trade skills, and professional interests.

  • Professional interviews & reviews: career readiness & portfolio prep.

  • Employer-sponsored membership: owner decision and workflow design remain open.
  • Licensed professions: independently responsible for licensing, scope, privacy, and records.
  • Partner events: future candidate subject to authorization and evidence.
  • Forums: current core product is host-paid; attendees pay Stablemate nothing.
  • International institutions: future and country-specific, not part of the U.S. launch model.
