Unlock sustainable peak performance. Top athletes prepare their state before every high-stakes moment. Most professionals don’t. Regulate closes the performance gap — helping leaders and teams shift their mental and physical state in real time. It’s the breathwork app for the workday, built to boost focus, reduce stress, recover energy and improve sleep so you can perform at your best. TRUSTED BY TOP ATHLETES Elite athletes use Regulate to prepare, perform and recover. Now the same tools fit into your workday. WHY THIS MATTERS The modern work environment constantly pulls you off balance: • Always-on digital routines • Fragmented attention and dopamine-driven feeds • Isolation in hybrid and remote setups • Constant pressure and uncertainty The cost is business-critical: fatigue, reactivity, poor decisions.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Real-time regulation — shift your state instantly • Two-way control — activate or calm with one tool • 96% of surveyed users report benefits (internal survey, 2025) • Trusted by Europe’s most innovative companies • Enterprise-ready • Based on research on breathwork (Harvard Medical School (July 2024), Stanford Medicine (Feb. 2023)) Wearables measure stress. Meditation apps calm you. Regulate changes your state — in real time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your goal — Focus, Energy, Calm, or Sleep 2. Follow guided sessions (1–30 min) 3.
