Kicking off the first series are the team from Class-ify. This series focuses on the Health and Wellness industry and we showcase founders who are currently raising capital.

The idea for Class-ify was born out of the first Covid-19 lockdown in the UK by Dan Stott, Tristan Rushworth and Jim Beattie. They noticed that the fitness industry wasn't ready for classes going online so suddenly and created the home for home workouts. With the online home-workout space growing by 30% in the first half of the year, they realised this was being optimised by the celebrity and influencer trainers alone. This left a void for local gym, yoga and breath-work trainers (to name just a few!), who are known and loved by their communities with no platform to host and manage their home workouts and grow their communities all in one place, and that's where Class-ify comes in. In just a few months they have launched their MVP and onboarded numerous trainers who have 50+ paying members in their communities.

Prior to Class-ify Dan spent the past 5 years at Elder joining as one their first employees, help to build from concept to £20m ARR and he was previously at JustEat where he was also one of their first sales team members and this is where he met Jim. Jim grew Just Eat's international product team from 0 to 100 people and most recently worked for OYO where he’s spent the past 3 years as their CTO. Tristan has recently finished up at the Bank of Ireland where he spent the past 5 years helping to launch a corporate banking franchise, generating >£50m income within 5 years and prior to that worked at Santander and Barclays.
