Emails will be sent to our community as we release more information on and SMART Device Availability.
Pitch Perfect
One thing that the accelerator programs and our growing mentor network has afforded us is the opportunity to practice talking about Metric Mate to a diverse consortium of people. The feedback and encouragement we have gotten throughout this journey, even from you, has kept us working harder and pushing farther. This has not only improved our investor pitch but has also strengthened the description of Metric Mate when applying to various opportunities. Just this year, we have been accepted and are preparing to compete in 3 pitch competitions. Pitch competitions are huge for startup companies as they offer non-dilutive (no exchange of equity in the company) funds to help support growth and scaling. Along with the financial benefit, Metric Mate is receiving invaluable exposure and publicity through these opportunities. On April 9th, we participated in a pitch event during the 42nd annual NSBE National Convention. It was an exhilarating experience and we received first place in the competition.
Next up is the Sports and Fitness Industry Association Start-Up Challenge. SFIA has been a part of the Sports and Fitness industry landscape since 1906 and with members like Nike, Puma, NFL, MLB, Apple, NHL, MLS, and many other sports and fitness industry titans, this is a huge opportunity for Metric Mate. The competition will take place on Tuesday, May 4th where we will be participating in a virtual pitch and Q&A session with a panel of judges from across the sports and fitness industry. With a substantial grand prize at stake, we are putting everything we have into coming out as champions on May 4th.
Our 3rd opportunity comes at the end of our Founder Institute cohort on May 26th. This will be the investor pitch day as well as the official graduation from the Founder Institute. With 6 weeks left in the 14-week program, there is still a lot to learn and more growing to do. With the team of mentors, Metric Mate moving into being revenue-generating, and all of the preparation we are putting into the previously mentioned competitions, we feel that we will be more than prepared to represent Metric Mate well as we join an illustrious group of Founder Institute graduates. On Investor Pitch Day, we will present a 5-minute pitch followed by Q&A from the investor group. Anything from new advisory board members to substantial investors can be secured during this pitch day which is why we are dedicating a lot of time and effort to make sure that we are ready for success.
Total Fitness REVOLUTION!
Metric Mate has secured our first Fitness Facility Partner, Total Fitness Revolution in Metro Atlanta. Total Fitness Revolution has the most complete and dynamic offerings of any gym in the Metro Atlant area including personal training, group classes, and high-intensity exercise. This partnership is a huge milestone for Metric Mate. We now have access to end-users and a diverse stream of data making it easier for us to hone our algorithms, and develop more relevant features. The hardware is easily accessible, facility staff are knowledgeable on how to work with the platform, it is then the priority of the Metric Mate team to deploy an application that delights the end-user.
Metric Mate offers a great value proposition for TFR as well. With most fitness facilities losing 50-70% of their revenue due to the COVID pandemic, every facility is looking for a competitive advantage to attract members as we move closer to safely reopening the world. Metric Mate brings their existing equipment into the 21st century without the immense capital investment our competitors require. Our community of personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts who have been looking for an opportunity to work with Metric Mate technology will now come to TFR. This partnership is a great synergy at a time where working together means so much more. We will be expanding our Fitness Facility partnership program to 2 additional facilities later this year.
More Opportunity. More Exposure. More Metric Mate
