You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

I am excited to welcome DJ van Hameren as our Chief Marketing Officer @whoop. DJ spent over 30 years at Nike, where he started in the mailroom and ultimately served as the Global Chief Marketing Officer. He previously led Nike Global Sportswear and Nike Digital Commerce. DJ also understands sport at the highest level as a two-time Olympian. I’m looking forward to this next chapter for our brand!

Happy 250th birthday America!!! There’s no better country. We may have our problems but they’re worth fighting for because there’s no better place in the world where you can turn a dream into a reality ❤️🙏 🇺🇸

Reached 120 days with the @WHOOP and it has been a catalyst for better health👇 - decreased alcohol consumption - prioritized zone 4-5 training - increased sauna sessions for recovery - tracking workouts more consistently using the strength trainer - journaling my habits more

Big news: the FDA has formally closed its warning letter on WHOOP Blood Pressure Insights. We stood by the science and the belief that safe, transparent wellness insights can help people better understand their health. As background we launched Blood Pressure Insights last year as a first-of-its-kind feature to give members daily BP estimates and explain how BP affects their wellness. The FDA sent us a warning letter claiming that Blood Pressure can only be used for medical diagnosis. This of course contradicts what medical research says about Blood Pressure in the context of sleep, stress, exercise etc. WHOOP fought for our position and the FDA has ultimately updated their guidelines to now include Blood Pressure as a wellness metric. This is a win for WHOOP and consumers. Proud of our team. Thank you to the FDA. Onwards.

@yoeven They aren’t. Very few examples of actual good merch. Tech has very low standards for fashion so anything mid that follows 8 year old streetwear or workwear brand codes get lauded as great.

Low key why are startups designing better merch than name brands

@mweinbach It’s a solution in a search of a problem. A means to sell a product by saying it does something new. And another way for people to record one another without their permission.

@willahmed Agreed, but apparently these are more spatial awareness vision pro style ones rather than ones to record video I think I'm more ok with this?

NYC in celebration mode Compared to a typical Sunday, the morning after the Knicks’ championship win New York WHOOP members saw: • Recovery ↓ 11% • Red Recoveries ↑ 36% • Sleep ↓ 34 min • HRV ↓ 4% • RHR ↑ 2% Those who reported drinking had an average of over 4 drinks. Guessing it was worth it 💙🧡 @nyknicks @whoop
