by Fitt
Help us launch Fitt to the world. We’ve assembled a rockstar team comprised of top talent from companies such as Google, Sprout, InMobi and Referentia, but in order for us to successfully launch Fitt, we need your help to reach our goal of 10,000,000 steps.
There’s been an explosion of wearable devices that track movement, sleep and so much more. Devices like the Fitbit and Jawbone UP are great for counting steps. However, much of this device data is siloed and friends cannot interact across different hardware devices.
Our philosophy
Social accountability is a powerful motivator, which is why we believe you should be able to move with friends, no matter the fitness tracker.
What is Fitt?
Fitt keeps you moving with friends, no matter the device. Our first release connects Jawbone UP and Fitbit friends, providing a single place where they can interact and encourage each other.
How it works
We’ve developed a motivation engine that gets you to move just a little bit more. Our system is designed so you can:
Hold each other accountable
Based on your own step history, Fitt will calculate your weekly goal. These are shared with your friends so you can help push each other along the way.
Bring out your inner cheerleader
Encourage friends with a high five or share that special sunset walk with a photo.
Unleash your competitive spirit
Challenge your friends to see who can out-step one another or stretch themselves more.
Why 10,000,000 steps?
Ten million steps is the minimum viable number of steps that correlate to enough users to stress test our platform. This helps the Fitt team by ensuring that Keith and Tom don't fall over with the servers if they go down. It also buys time for Ryan to put the finishing touches on our UI and Jon to code them up to spec.
How can I help?
If you have a Jawbone UP or a Fitbit, help us by joining Fitt and pledge the number of steps you will walk during February 12, 2014 and February 18, 2014. By pledging your steps, you become an early backer of Fitt.
If you don’t have a Jawbone UP or Fitbit, you can still help. Please help us spread the word by sharing this campaign with your friends and family who have a Jawbone UP or a Fitbit.
