# watta. ai workout tracker for rowers. take a photo of the erg screen — we read every number off it, score the effort 0–100, and roll your training into clubs and leaderboards. live on the app store today. ## what it is every rowing workout ends with a screen full of numbers: time, distance, split, stroke rate, heart rate. nobody types those into a spreadsheet, so workouts evaporate. watta closes the loop. point your phone at the pm5 (or pm4, pm3, any erg display) and we read every number into a structured workout — intervals, summaries, time trials. then we score the effort 0–100 by combining split, distance, time, and cardiac load. the score surfaces hard sessions on days when the split alone lies. ## why now - on-device vision models can now read pm5 screens reliably from a phone photo - rowers are fragmented across concept2 logbook (closed), strava (general fitness), and a dozen abandoned apps - clubs want shared training data, not splits dumped into a slack channel by hand ## what's live - ios app, on the app store - effort score 0–100 with cardiac load weighted at 40% - five hr zones (recovery, aerobic, tempo, threshold, max) calibrated to each rower's resting + max - ai photo-import for pm5 / pm4 / pm3 — intervals, summaries, time trials - multi-machine: rowerg, bikeerg, skierg - clubs + squads, invite codes, leaderboards by effort, distance, or time - social: follow, react, comment on workouts - free web calculators — split↔watts, pace, 2k predictor, weight adjustment, hr zones — driving organic search and signups ## traction snapshot — drop in your real numbers: - {N} downloads - {N} monthly active rowers - {N} clubs created - {N} workouts logged - top regions: {…} ## how we make money - free for individual rowers - paid plans for clubs (unlimited squads, admin tools) - team plans for university programs, masters clubs, corporate gyms (roster-level reporting) - coach mode for remote 1:1 coaching with structured plans (in development) ## who's it for - competitive masters and university rowers - crews and clubs that want shared training data - coaches managing athletes remotely - indoor rowers on concept2 who want workouts logged without manual entry ## the team **{your name}** — founder. {background — what you've shipped before, why you're the right person to build this for rowers.} {add co-founders / first hires here.} ## the raise raising **${X}** {SAFE / open to discussion}. uses: - {N} months of runway for {team size} - ai accuracy — newer pm screens, low-light photos, edge-case interval screens - ship coach mode - sales motion into rowing programs and corporate fitness targeting close in {N} weeks. {N} checks committed. ## who we want to talk to - consumer fitness investors familiar with strava-class network effects - former operators at strava, whoop, hevy, or peloton - gps with portfolio in vertical training apps (ladder, future, caliber) - ex-rowers in the operator network email: {[email protected]}. or — if you're already plugged into hiveround's mcp — `request_intro --slug watta`.
