GetMotivatedBuddies
For the past two years, I’ve been stealthily working on a startup called www.getmotivatedbuddies.com, a social platform to help people follow through with difficult behaviors like exercise, studying, and work, by partnering people working towards similar goals as buddies and in groups and challenges. It is a platform designed to improve wellbeing through positive behavior change and accountability.
There is an exorbitant amount of expert information about what interventions work to improve wellbeing: e,g. exercise more, eat less. But there is no help for people to systematically take action taking into account their day to day struggles and successes.
Although we’re not yet released we have a superb team of people, which I will announce soon, and passionate committed users for our beta site from around the world.
