Former CFO - Lost 85lbs and Building Gamified Social Fitness App

Hey Product Hunt!

My name is Ethan and co founder of WeFit Labs, a gamified fitness platform that is leveraging wearables devices to motivate people to move together. People can track their steps, calories, etc to complete quests and compete with friends via a leaderboard. (Think Duolingo Meets Strava but not just for runners)

My traditional corporate career has been in Finance and when my first corporate job IPO'd I took an opportunity to work as a CFO in the crypto/gaming startup community. While we raised $16M+ my health (both mental and physical) started to decline.

I was 85lbs overweight and pre-diabetic. Then in Fall of 2023 I decided to take a leave from my first startup to continue to focus on my health. In less than a year I was able to lose 85lbs (naturally) and attribute most of it through building core habits and the social accountability of fitness.

We're currently on the early stages of our app (Beta is available on iOS store) and we're looking to do a larger launch here on PH!

I want to be a helpful community member as well so here are some "Give's and Get's" that I can offer:

Give:
1) Health tips (super passionate about sharing what worked for me)
2) Product Feedback (I'm very into health tools but open to giving any)
3) My Startup experience/tips

Get:
1) Product Feedback on WeFit!
2) Tips on building here on PH

3) Community Growth Tips/Hacks

I'm also #buildinginpublic so feel free to follow me on my socials as well (I use TT, IG, and Linkedin mostly)
