You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

RT @WHOOP: Adaptability, engineered. Project Terrain: Layer 02 brings together material innovation, precision detailing, and wearable technology to meet the demands of exploration. Designed by SR_A’s Samuel Ross for performance across changing conditions.

I've always said our ambition with @WHOOP is to create something that's either cool or invisible. Today, we're taking that philosophy to the next level with the launch of LAYER 2, our latest collection with Samuel Ross. Available now via link below.

Proud to announce a new landmark partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi to advance clinical research and preventive healthcare. 🇦🇪 We're launching a 24-month research program to study how continuous health monitoring and personalized coaching can improve cardiometabolic health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The UAE is one of our fastest-growing markets, and @whoop has grown 15x across the GCC in just three years. Grateful to H.E. Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori and the entire Department of Health team for their leadership and partnership. Our ambition is to add a billion healthy years to humanity. Partnerships like this will help us get there. 💪🏽

Whoop is now available in Arabic. The GCC has been the fastest-growing region for us globally. And we will continue to invest there. YALLAH!!!

What an amazing week at the Alfred Dunhill. I had an absolute blast playing with my partner David Law. We came up just short. Huge congratulations to Adrian Meronk and Tom Chaplin on their win 👏🏼 so well deserved. Thank you to Johann and Gaynor for organizing and having me. Wow 25 years! @dunhilllinks ❤️🙏

Drove the 18th hole of St Andrew’s on a Sunday while tied for the lead of the Alfred Dunhill! What an amazing day. Even better that my partner David Law drained his eagle putt @dunhilllinks

RT @cshapiro: L.L.Bean was founded in 1912 selling one product: a duck boot. 114 years later, it's still family-owned and just added Kyle Leahy, WHOOP's Chief Commercial Officer, to its board. Resume speedrun: Cole Haan → Glossier → WHOOP → board of an American icon. Congrats Kyle!

RT @blackstone: Our first podcast guest, @WHOOP Founder & CEO @willahmed joins us Inside Blackstone. Watch the full episode tomorrow.

Introducing WHOOP Pace Setters for the Class of 2027 This is a new careers program designed to find exceptional young people at the very beginning of their careers and give them the opportunity to make an extraordinary impact. At a time when many companies are cutting jobs and pulling back on early-career hiring, WHOOP is going in the opposite direction and now looking to actively hire graduating seniors. Conventional wisdom is that AI is going to eliminate entry level jobs and young people are now less valuable. I believe the opposite is more true: AI is a great equalizer and young graduates stand to benefit the most. I started WHOOP when I was a 22 year old senior in college. It wasn’t just the first company I started, it was my first full-time job. I know firsthand that young people have remarkable potential if they're willing to work hard and learn. Our new Pace Setters program is all about finding the next generation of exceptional talent. In July 2027, we’ll welcome our first class of Pace Setters into full-time roles across teams at WHOOP. We’re looking for exceptional graduating students who are ambitious, intellectually curious, competitive, AI ready, and willing to work incredibly hard. Come join us.

Introducing Meridian by Whoop. Our most premium band yet. Meridian is inspired by fine jewelry and crafted from refined stainless steel. We sought to make the band feel less like an accessory for a wearable and more like a piece you would choose to wear on its own. If you’ve wondered what band you should wear out, this may be for you.

Healthcare too often starts after something goes wrong. I think we can do better. Today, we’re opening @WHOOP Advanced Labs to everyone in the US - no WHOOP membership required. Advanced Labs gives people access to comprehensive blood testing powered by @QuestDX, with personalized guidance to help make sense of the results. Already, 8 in 10 users report discovering a meaningful health finding. We’re also adding Galleri, @GrailBio's multi-cancer early detection test, designed to detect cancer signals associated with more than 50 types of cancer from a single blood draw. The future of health is understanding what’s happening inside your body before it becomes a problem. That’s the future we’re building at WHOOP.

Announcing Whoop available through Medicare, plus company growth, new investments in women’s health, and whether I had more hair in 2016 @FoxBusiness @cherylcasone

RT @tankots: It's no secret how we feel about typing at Wispr Flow. The truth is, we hate messy meeting notes too. Introducing Notetaker 👇

UPDATE: Natural Cycles is now included with WHOOP. We’re making one of our biggest investments in women’s health in WHOOP history. Starting today, new and current female WHOOP members who are new to Natural Cycles will receive their first year of the Natural Cycles app included with their WHOOP membership covered by us. Natural Cycles is the world's only FDA-cleared, hormone-free birth control app. Using biomarker data - including overnight temperature from WHOOP - it identifies fertile and non-fertile days to provide personalized fertility insights. Beyond birth control, it also supports women through pregnancy planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Over the last few months, we've worked closely with the Natural Cycles team to create an experience that feels truly unique. We didn't want to simply offer another integration. We wanted to make it a seamless part of the WHOOP experience. And with the first year included, there's no additional subscription required.

RT @Mubadala: @willahmed, Founder and CEO of @WHOOP, reflects on the culture of possibility he has experienced in Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and why it creates a compelling environment for entrepreneurs and growing companies.

Whoop AI can now create custom graphs for you of your data. It will keep getting better.

The new @whoop interactive "all time history" chart confirm what I felt: I am at my fittest in July over the years (2019-now), when summarised by HRV and resting heart rate. December is a particular "bad" month, much shorter daylight in The Netherlands and way more eating/drinking due to Christmas/NYE. @willahmed this is a really cool feature for folks with a long historic data record! Thanks!!
