Community-based fitness startup Sweatpals raised $12 million in a recent funding round, which was led by venture capital firms Patron, a16z speedrun, and Kevin Hart's HartBeat Ventures.
“When I first saw Sweatpals, I immediately recognized it as the future of how we connect,” Hart said in a Sweatpals statement. “As someone who’s built my career on bringing people together through entertainment, I see Sweatpals doing the same thing through fitness. They’re leading a movement that makes wellness accessible, social, and fun, and it’s exactly the kind of innovation that excites me as an investor.”
