Stride

Stride addresses a critical flaw in current running apps: the lack of effective, in-the-moment gamification. While apps like Strava engage users before and after their runs, they fail to provide real-time motivation during the run itself. For example, Strava may encourage competition with leaderboards or celebrate post-run achievements, but the experience of running itself remains largely uninspiring—sweat, fatigue, and the grind of completing miles without immediate reward.

Stride solves this problem by introducing dynamic, real-time gamification through innovative haptic feedback. This non-intrusive mechanism creates an engaging, interactive running experience, where motivation is delivered while you're actively running. Stride turns each run into a game, providing instant feedback and rewards, making every stride feel purposeful and exciting.

I'm 16 and in the last 2 months I've achieved the following:

- Completely finished the first (MVP) version of Stride
- Landed Brady Holmer (endurance athlete, influencer, and running expert) as my advisor
- Found, pitched, and successfully attained an entire development team for FREE through an AI coding program (Gauntlet AI)
- I have a UI development team working on creating Stride's UI for the next, public version. I received access to this development team through my network and have had all expenses covered.
- I partnered with and now help manage a network of over 10,000 micro influencers prepared to advertise my app at a $1 CPM—meaning that each 1,000,000 views for Stride costs me only $1,000.
