Hykso

------ Our Story ------

We are a mix of former athletes and award-winning engineers who went through Y-Combinator (Winter 2016) and also received investment from 500 Startups. We develop Fitness Challenges that are backed by the best figures of Boxing and MMA that people take with motion sensors on your wrists and feet. Think Peloton Cycle ($1.25 Billion valuation) for Boxing and High-Intensity Interval Training.

Our sensors recognize the type of punch being thrown, measure the speed of each punch, and also recognize 12 other movements such as push-ups, burpees, squats, lunges, sit-ups, that are all commonly found in HIIT training.

Our product was initially built for the Canadian and US Olympic teams, and today it is used by the best fighters in the world including Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, Cain Velasquez, and Vasili Lomachenko. They made more than $1,000,000 in revenue and our sales grew 32% monthly for the past 6 months since we shipped in February.

-------- Our Core Values ---------

• The one closest to the action makes the decision
• If the team wins, we all win
• If something is broken, fix it, even if it's not your responsibility.
• You cannot change the others. You can only change yourself.
• It's not about working the longest hours, it's about working on the most important thing
• 10 small arguments are better than 1 huge argument. If you have something on your chest, say it. Strong men and women talk about their emotions.
• Always be honest. Trust is the most fragile thing.
• Mistakes are completely fine. Just learn from it.
