FITFCK To Launch £5M Funding A-Round This Week
FITFCK, the leading omni-channel fitness dating brand for gym-enthusiasts, is set to launch its £5 million funding A-Round this week. A number of high profile investors have already gotten involved with the brand as it looks to expand into various consumer products.
FITFCK, which looks to serve fitness-minded singles, is already receiving support from OnlyFans Founder, Tim Stokely; JLL’s Jack Elton; and YouTube content creators SXVXN, Chaotic, and Nitro Luke DX.
Beyond its dating app and IRL dating events, FITFCK is already developing additional consumer products including underwear and energy drinks.
FITFCK Founder and UK Enterprise Advisor Jamie Wykes-Hobday, commented: “Our A Round fundraise will be absolutely huge for us. Our promise from our Seed Round to our investors was that we would launch our app, bug free, to iOS/Android mobile devices. So to have launched our app, scaled it considerably, partnered with nationwide gyms and content creators as well as being featured on big time press outlets is something that we are incredibly proud of”.
“It fills us with tremendous confidence heading into our A Round. Whilst myself and the team are incredibly proud of our hard work and efforts, it wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible community. For that, I would like to thank each and every one of them for their unwavering support”, Wykes-Hobday continued.
FITFCK is on a mission to become the largest omni-channel community for dating, relationships, casual meets and friendships, the platform shared.
Callum Roberts, a familiar face on the platform’s social media network, added: “Having started off as a model with FITFCK, I quickly transitioned to an ambassador role, before working on the investment side of things with the company. Working with Jamie and the team has opened my eyes up to a completely different way of raising capital. We are in an age now where you can look at the value that someone can bring to a business in more ways than just cash”.
“Content creators and celebrities can now leverage their audience/influence in order to grow a brand’s value in a very short space of time. You only need to look at various B2C case studies today on social media to realize that this is a very exponential space to be working in. With FITFCK’s brand value and vision, it is a very exciting time for the company and I am looking forward to playing an integral role in this”, Roberts added.
Investment associate, Jesse Baffour shared: “FITFCK is centred around community – not only amongst our influencer network, event attendees, app users and digital following, but it’s also mirrored amongst our investor syndicate. Our powerful sense of community is what’s going to propel the business even further as we enter new territories. Fresh funding will empower us to mirror our exponential UK growth in the US, as we dip our toes into the fitness dating scene across the pond, in 2024”.
