THE FOUNDER’S STORY: When and how did you come up with the idea for the business?:
The story of Aurora is one of exploring music as an instinctive, effortless and enjoyable way to allow the mind, body and spirit to synchronously heal and energise.
Music therapy is reported to improve respiration, lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate and relax muscle tension. It has been used to diffuse stress and relieve pain.
Knowing this and experiencing its benefits ourselves, we wanted to take the concept further and produce music for mental health that every listener could adjust and mix to create their own special sound.

Sleep deprivation affect hundreds of million of people globally, and sleep music is enjoyed across all demographics.

LESSONS TO SHARE: What 3 key lessons from your startup journey you’d like to share with aspiring entrepreneurs?:
1.Don’t build a product you like. Build a product people need.
2.Don’t do vitamins, do aspirin. Nice to have is a much harder road to success. Aspirins solve a headache.
3.Hire slow, Fire fast.
