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.
AI productivity apps: reminders, quotes, "motivation." But it doesn't work. People abandon 80% of tasks.
Focido where humans remain. Real users see your goals, send personal nudges, wait for replies. Because only a human understands why "tomorrow" never comes.
