Andrew and Antoine, of Toronto, pitched Train Fitness, an AI-based app for Apple smartwatches that automatically detects and counts weight-lifting exercise reps using motion data analyzed 50 times per second, asking for $600,000 for 7.5%. The app currently detects about 100 exercises, has 15,000 downloads and 4,500 weekly active users, and had not yet started charging users, though the founders planned to charge $7 to $9 a month for a premium version starting the following month, and claimed 5X month-over-month growth.
Manjit Minhas and Arlene Dickinson went out citing insufficient proof of concept and past negative experience in the space. Robert Herjavec offered $600,000 for 35% given the lack of a proven revenue model, Michele Romanow offered $600,000 for 10%, and after Robert's offer, Wes Hall offered $600,000 for 15%, citing interest in the underlying technology. Vincenzo Guzzo went out over the valuation. The founders declined all offers, saying the valuations did not match their expectations for the business.
