At 4 years old, my first trip to Mexico sparked something special. Now I call Latin America home for much of the year. Funny how those early adventures shape our future.

Hey @Winston Zin
Strengths:
1. Clear Value Proposition
- The "Duolingo of Fitness" tagline is catchy and immediately understandable
- Strong positioning as a Web 2.5 SocialFi platform with AI integration
- Clear problem-solution fit addressing specific market pain points
- Market Opportunity
- Well-researched market size ($450B+ global market)

Areas for Improvement:

Consider adding:

Competitive Analysis
Missing direct competitor comparison
No clear differentiation matrix showing advantages over existing solutions
Consider adding a slide showing why Impakt will win against both traditional fitness apps and emerging AI-powered solutions

The current GTM strategy could be more detailed
Consider adding:
- Customer acquisition channels
- Marketing budget allocation

- Previous exits valuations
- Relevant industry experience in fitness/tech
- Key hires needed
Risk Mitigation

I hope this helps!

<@U08A629HEMR> This is Brian's intro which disappears after 90 days because we are on the free slack plan.
Hi Everyone! Iβm Brian Bohley from Evanston(Chicago), IL, and I have founded multiple companies over the past 26 years. What Iβm working on: I currently own and operate 4 businesses mostly around accounting and finance and real estate. I'm mostly focusing on a web app I have in beta that I am testing within my accounting firm. I'm married with 2 sons(8 and 10) and my wife wishes I wasn't such a workaholic. I love to play all sports but mostly tennis, soccer, basketball, and volleyball(I could list more). I normally try to incorporate my kids to kill 2 birds. How I can help: I'm an accounting subject matter expert with a ton of B2B experience. I can share what I have learned and provide some advice. Why I was interested in joining Gildre: The networking groups I've been a part of have gotten quite stale and I don't get enough from the masterminds. This looks like the best of both worlds with little commitment up front to try out. Where I could use support: Software Development Technical Co-Founders Share your LinkedIn URL:
