The success of the Ice Bucket Challenge was shocking. Over 2 million videos, 28 million people joining the conversation, $85 million raised. The viral power of the social "high-five" was evident.
We founded Podiim to tap into this power and to apply it to the explosive growth in Health/Fitness related tech. The Podiim platform allows any person or organization to issue a mobile challenge and to reward success, all based on data collected from any wearable, smartphone or event.
