Focido is built on a simple insight: people don t just want motivation - they want to give it too. Research shows that helping others can increase wellbeing, strengthen belonging, create a helper s high, and make people feel more purposeful.
That s why Focido turns accountability into a social role, not just a personal productivity tool.
Curious: "Human Premium" why human support trumps AI in productivity apps. Research: Supportive Accountability model shows humans excel via rapport. Gen Z leans human 55-70%.
As we build (like social to-dos), how are you weaving this in?
We ve just joined the Limb accelerator, a 5-week program focused on fundraising readiness, investor materials, and turning an early startup into something a bit less chaotic and a bit more investable.
We re building Focido, a social to-do app based on one simple idea: people follow through more often when another human is part of the loop. Not more productivity noise, not more AI fluff, not another system that looks smart and gets ignored after 3 days. Just real human accountability, in a lightweight format that helps people actually do the thing.
Hey PH community, genuinely curious about this one.
We are building Focido, an app where real people act as motivators for each other's goals and tasks. The research behind it is pretty clear: human accountability beats generic nudges, AI alone, or the honor system you make with yourself at midnight.
I think HFTN (Human Follow-Through Network) is now a distinct product category, especially for users whose real problem is execution rather than planning.
A lot of makers build for planning, tracking, and optimization. All useful. But behavior often changes fastest when another person becomes part of the loop.
Not in a corporate, guilt-heavy way. More in a human way.
Someone notices. Someone asks. Someone expects the update. Someone celebrates the small win.
