Spot on. It really does help in all aspects of company-building, and like you say - it's not an extremely steep learning curve, the basics will take you a fair way.

I think sales is a skill that mystifies plenty of HN'ers, and engineers in general. Learning to become a better salesperson is the best "growth hack" for your company. You'll need it for users/customers, journalists, potential hires and investors. Many of the tips/tricks are useful across those disciplines. Look forward to seeing what happens here.

Cool that this got picked up :)

Would love hear what others think.

Quite a cool idea!

Spot on.

So, to get a little but off the whole deck/fundraising thing - but how do you compare yourselves to say, Fitocracy. I just started using Fitocracy, and am really enjoying it so far. As much as I hate the word, the "gamification" elements are truly effective - definitely push me to want to workout more and climb up that point ladder.

Other than that - the app looks solid, and nice n simple. My only feedback is the tagline "for people who hate fitness". I am not a massive fan of fitness (hence why I am interested in these apps), but want to become someone that DOESN'T hate fitness - isn't that the entire goal of your company?

Congrats on raising the round and a great execution so far though :)
