It's amazing how just two developers were able to pull this off up until the acquisition.
Thank you! We did have a part time team on content/design/marketing and another full time team member on engineering (but we never quite figured out how to film everyone lol). Though I didn't write any code so you're right it was just two developers
Choosing a strong engineer as cofounder seems helpful
@@ninobach7456Yup. Almost like being able to walk the talk and not just slapping AI / Web3 / Metaverse / Buzzword on stuff 😌. Awesome documentation and well earned ❤️ !
My jaw dropped at the part when you told the story of how your VC literally quit his fund to copy you guys. Kudos to you both you are absolute legends for powering through a founder's ultimate nightmare!
Same here bro. Now I believe that people actually steal ideas. One has to be very careful when sharing ideas.
@@davidconteh2231 dont trust anyone
@@davidconteh2231why won't they, when we have people like zuck as role models. 😅😂😂
I wonder what eventually happened to him.
name and shame....srsly, why are ppl too scared to name these guys
This is crazy inspiring. Me and my co-founder have been watching this on repeat and we're still in the early stages, thanks for posting!
I appreciate it, good luck with your journey!
This is so inspiring it’s insane.
Most of the time the media only shows the “overnight success” but they fail to show the struggles and failures along the way.
Thank you for sharing this process with us.
Wish you guys the best!
Thank you!!
this was simply amazing to watch... Like you guys just literally served through problems to find a good idea. Seems so obvious but very difficult to be committed to. Well-done!
Absolutely love that you had the idea to document as you built. So cool seeing 2017 you talk about the company - it sometimes feels like your watching another person (maybe you technically are?? who knows). Excited to see what's next
The consistent resilience and optimistic attitude you both have is incredible to watch and no doubt a huge reason why you both were successful. Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing this amazing story :)
I am so glad you captured the startup building journey from start to finish. Super fascinating and insightful to see the behind the scenes successes and struggles! I just got some new motivation in life after watching this!
So glad to hear that!
What a video is this. Thank you so much for the video.. A big Congratulations to both of you..
You two should start a CZcams channel. You guys have great energy and you’re both so positive. It would be a great way to find talent and bring attention to your next business
You’re watching this on a CZcams channel what are you talking about
😂🤣
@@jamescliff8038 "You two" go read a fucking book.
Hey this is a crazy capture. Congratulations to you on building a great app. Truly inspiring!
This is amazing! I truly enjoyed your documentation of the journey.
This app was innovative, thought out, and extremely well timed with covid (very fortunate for that).
I hope this video inspires more founders to document their journeys. Whether their startup succeeds or not.
This is a great video! Love the editing and thought that went into all of it glad the algorithm is picking up on it
I hope another project is in the works behind the scenes :)
Well done. This is pure encouragement to everyone to chase your dreams at all costs.
Holy shit, this is like a real-life startup creation documentary. One of the coolest videos I've seen in a while! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your startup journey! Amazing that a startup with just a niche idea was able to make a huge impact on an industry like fitness!
This is really fun and inspiring at the same time! Congrats on everything that you guys have achieved, and you deserve every single bit of it!
For an aspiring entrepreneur with a half-decent startup which didn't take off, this is the video which will keep me motivated. Thank you! Looking to connecting with you both and collaborating in the future!
Thank you really appreciate it ❤ this content is gold! For someone that is trying to build something. You gave me a push thanks 🙏
This is an amazing journey. Thanks for sharing and all the best on next stages of your life!
I'm glad to hear that being an iOS developer brings you so much joy and hope! Embrace your passion for development and continue to create amazing things.❤❤❤
I love that you two are working together. I would love to have a friend that will be with me on my start up journey as well 🙌🔥
Insanely motivational. Thank you for having the forsite to document everything.
Truly inspiring and educational seeing this from start to finish and the bumps you two had in the way, and I'm sure it's not even half of the problems you two had in this adventure.
It was really helpful and thank you two for sharing this with us.
Well done guys!! This shows how hard they worked even if they failed couple of times. Such a motivation as well, everything is possible if you push yourself a bit!
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
Absolutely incredible, you guys have inspired me so much to keep grinding and work even harder. If you ever have some time would love to meet one day and learn from you both.

Thanks for this content. Very transparent. I really like the part where you showed the rejection emails for the VC's.... Congratulations on persevering through
I found this video/documentary very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Good luck to your next adventure!
This is awesome! Very inspirational. I’m building a startup but don’t come from the startup or tech world so it’s been difficult. But the product is great and gaining momentum.
I needed this video . Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow ! Thanks for this sharing !
I got more excited for you as I noticed the dates… haven’t got to 2020 yet but I have to say. What timing
Great video gents. It's so good to see startups documenting the process.
Man this is incredible !!! You did very good job 👏 wish for luck for your second challenge !
Just discovering this now. Great job guys, so happy for you :) you made it 💪
Wow, such a great startup idea I’m sure you went through thousands of ideas and just never quit along the way
Currently in a seed round, specifically rejection face. Feels good to see others going through the same and eventually getting that VC Check. Thanks for the boost and congrats!
