Hi. I’m Nicola. I am the founder of FitIntegrate. FitIntegrate is essentially an automated temp agency for the fitness industry. More specifically, FitIntegrate matches relevant instructors to gym classes.
I'm looking to bring on a technical co-founder to take our current MVP to the next level. Some of the work we have in the pipeline includes payment gateway integration, SMS notifications, and a new user interface design. Where FitIntegrate is at: • Launched Private Beta in Feb 2012. • Over 100 users signed up (a mix of instructors and gyms) • FitIntegrate secured a spot in the AngelCube 2012 accelerator program in Melbourne. • Has first “big” deal/customer in the pipeline. Going forward… Ideally, I am looking for someone who enjoys the gym/fitness space, and has worked in a startup environment and/or is SUPER passionate about getting involved. On a technical level I'm looking for someone who is more of a software generalist, has been working with Ruby for a number of years, has frontend development experience with Backbone.js / Ember.js or similar MVC frameworks, and is passionate about user experience and understanding the customers needs. Some quick points: • Experience with Ruby on Rails • Experience with object-orientated JavaScript • Experience designing web applications • Experience working in an Agile and TDD environment. • The ability to understand and be understood well by others. • A level of comfort working directly with customers to identify and develop product features. • Ability to get Sh*t done! So, what’s on the table? You will be joining an early stage Angel backed startup in Melbourne, and as with any startup I am offering considerable equity, and cash when we start generating revenue. A bit about me… The idea came about as a frustrated instructor myself. I’ve had over 6 years experience in the fitness industry in a variety of roles, ranging from instructing to gym management. This means I know customers well, and have also built up a strong network. FitIntegrate is my first start up; however, I have had experience working with startups through my internship at Adventure Capital. Currently, I am one subject off achieving a Masters of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Business + fitness is pretty much me in a nutshell. You can check out FitIntegrate at http://fitintegrate.com/users/sign_up If you're interested, drop me an email at [email protected] with some feedback on the site and a bit about who you are and what you have done. Links to recent work would be awesome, especially open- source contributions and your Github profile. I'm based out of Inspire 9 in Melbourne, so if you want to drop in for a chat please get in touch. Also, I’ll be at RORO tomorrow night (26th April). No recruiters, please.
