The document proposes an eSports academy that aims to provide a healthy alternative to the intense lifestyles of professional eSports players. It notes that most players currently spend 15-18 hours a day gaming and many abuse drugs, leading to early retirement around age 25. The academy would offer coaching from psychologists and veteran players, focusing on team training, data-driven methods, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle without long gaming sessions or drug use. It seeks to help talented teenagers and students improve their skills while avoiding the pitfalls of the pro scene.

The document outlines a proposed mobile app called Healthit that aims to help people build and maintain healthy habits through gamification and social elements. It analyzes research showing people struggle with motivation over time to live healthily. The app would track steps, offer real-life rewards, stimulate other healthy behaviors, and simplify habit-building. It would bring together app users and health/wellness providers to offer discounts. The founders have experience in psychology and marketing and believe the app could tap into Bulgaria's sizable health/wellness market. They provide details on marketing strategies, milestones, the competent team, and screenshots of app features from the beta version.
The document proposes using bacteriophages or "good viruses" that target bacteria as an alternative treatment to antibiotics for drug-resistant bacterial infections. It describes how phage therapy works by using bacteria's structures to replicate and burst open bacteria until they die. It then outlines plans to create an information platform and treatment center in Bulgaria to help the growing number of people negatively impacted by antibiotic resistance, redirecting them to partner treatment centers until Bulgaria can produce and administer its own phage treatments. The founders hope to pioneer this alternative therapy to ultimately save lives at risk of being lost to untreatable infections.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
