We're optimizing exercise/nutrition/medications in complex care pathways like no one else has before.
Our program has been shown to be 2x more effective than standard prescription medication and 5x more effective than habit change alone.
We've raised capital from Goodwater Capital, Nina Capital, Air Force Ventures, and Phoenix Club, and various super angels including the founder of OpenTrons (medical labs automation; have raised $240 mill). Also, we're a Y Combinator graduate.

Is this you?
If you're behind Alfie: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
