Incredible product + team. Congrats on the launch Robbie!

Looks fantastic!!

Hey everyone, Phil from Cardsy—I'm excited to be here! Thanks @hnshah for hunting us. Cardsy is an ecomm greeting card shop that collaborates with a rotating set of artists to create awesome greeting cards for life's important moments. Why Artists? Artists have a pretty good knack for bringing emotions to life. Whether its joy, support, or a good laugh, art can communicate what we feel but...

@zach_goldstein Looks awesome. Just bought joggers from F&O and into this non-jean, comfy pants concept. Noticed 30x30 is smallest waist, unless I missed something? Any 28/29 in the works?

Great founder, great product. Haven't purchased something yet, but it's been an enjoyable experience so far.

Awesome team. Awesome product!

@netspencer Totally agree. It's super important to us to keep the PumpUp community a very positive place, with a focus on inspiring people to live a healthier and active lifestyle, as opposed to focusing on losing an unhealthy amount of weight, etc. Thanks for the comment!

@Zfiscr Thanks Zack, really appreciate the kind words!

@ozguralaz Thanks! Glad to hear you'll use PumpUp to track and share your progress. Great feedback! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I totally agree could be faster. We're growing really quickly, working on improving our backend. We're hiring back end engineers, if you know anyone awesome :) Also working on better integration with other fitness apps/products, like Nike+, Runkeeper, FitBit,...

@rrhoover thanks Ryan! Great question. Fortunately our community has been very positive so far! Currently, we have a "report" feature built in and our community has been policing the content very effectively. We're super diligent about removing inappropriate content once it's been reported. That's worked for now. As we scale, we will continue to build out necessary tools to keep our community...

We just launched The New PumpUp! Over the last 6 months, we’ve cultivated a truly inspiring and motivational community for healthy and active living. As we’ve grown, community has become the core of our product, and understanding that, we’ve spent the last few months totally rebuilding and redesigning PumpUp from the ground up, putting community front and centre. The initial feedback has been...

@rrhoover thanks for the mention! @jacksonlatka great analogy (might use that myself in a future pitch)! I couldn't agree more. I'm a believer (highly biased) that we're moving towards "niche communities" vs one size fit all networks (ie. FB, Insta). There is a lot content (ie. fitness pics, baby pics) that people aren't comfortable sharing on places like FB, or that just simply don't go...

@liveink Nice! Small world!

@liveink Yea! We're currently based in the VeloCity Garage in Waterloo.

@liveink awesome. my email is phil@pumpup.co — looking forward to your thoughts!

@moneyries Hey Brian, we launched just over a year ago (Dec 27, 2012 to be exact). Noticed you cover health for Daily Beast, would love to chat with you more about PumpUp. Going to shoot you a quick note via email!
