Meet the 2019 Spring Cohort: BetterYou

BetterYou

BetterYou is the digital coach that helps you spend your digital time effectively.

Tell us the story of how and why you started your company.

If someone were to ask you in the street where you were going to spend your time today what would you tell them? Family? Exercise? Sleep? You would probably say very values-based activities. You know who doesn’t think that way? Digital you, the person you are on your phone. It’s not a bad thing, I’m the same way. The number of times I find myself looking at headlines on Twitter at one in the morning instead of getting my seven hours of sleep are too many to count on my fingers and toes.

There’s a cost to that next swipe on Instagram or hitting that notification on Twitter. It just isn’t obvious. But on the weeks where you miss that call to your parents or the nights that you miss out on sleep, it is. You tell yourself you were too busy that week, but really your swipes, scrolls, and notifications cost you the things you thought were most important in your week.

BetterYou is the digital coach that helps you spend your digital time effectively. First, you tell us what you care most about, then we take a few days learning digital you, and how that person stacks up to who you want to be. We identify the tradeoffs you are currently making that are flat out inconsistent and help you stay on track with your goals.

What's your most recent success or milestone hit?

Since going full time in October, we built out a product for Android and iOS and are currently working with some of the largest institutions in the US.

Where do you see your startup in 1 year?

In one year I see us offering not only the ability to help people make the most effective use of their time, but also the insights playbook on how to grow and improve an organization.
