by Kay Aloha Villamor in October 13th, 2022

FitBudd, an India-based SaaS start-up that helps global health & fitness coaches grow worldwide, announced $3.4 million in seed funding.

The investment was from Accel India, Beenext, Sequoia Capital India, and Waveform Ventures, with the cash earmarked for further product development and customer acquisition.

"We're using technology to democratize health and fitness coaching," says Saumya Mittal, CEO of Fitbudd. "We want to help coaches grow their businesses and give more people access to help that can be life-changing." "Our most important objective of all is to make a dent in the deteriorating health trends we see in so many countries worldwide," she added. "We know health and wellness coaches can make all the difference in helping people to reverse those trends, so it's critical that more people have access to them."

FitBudd, which only launched a year ago, has already signed up over 1,000 coaches from around 20 countries, and revenues have increased tenfold since the platform's inception. Within the next 18 months, the goal is to reach $5 million in recurring revenue.

FitBudd's vision is of a sector where coaches can take on and manage much larger numbers of clients than ever before, scaling their businesses – and their earnings – far more rapidly.
