FITFCK Fitness Dating, the fitness first dating app, has closed its first group of angel investors. The app has raised over £100k in pledges, and the financed raised will be used to improve the overall user experience and increased expansion with focus on the UK and US in particular.
FITFCK’s vision is to create a multilayered Gen-Z consumer brand using dating as a foundation stone for clothing, supplements, events and more. They currently have over 200,000 sign ups, 80,000 social media followers, more than 10m social media views, and 200+ influencer collaborations.
Jamie Wykes-Hobday, founder of FITFCK, said: “We are thrilled with the early progress that has been made in our 2021 seed round raise. The interest shown and committed has been a reflection of the hard work my CTO, Simon, and I have put in to date. All of our focus now and during Q1 will be placed on closing the round before we then start to expand and make FITFCK the most talked about name in the industry….For right or wrong. We are not just creating a dating app here, we are creating a brand.“
The funding round for FITFCK begins in 2022, with details expected to be launched in Q1’22. FITFCK was founded in 2018, with a keen focus on bringing together regular gym goers, professional bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts of all abilities, and the app has established an online fitness community.
