Invest in VATER

Hi Everyone,

Raven here, Founder of VATER. The app that gets the people going.

A little background:

After experiencing the pains of lockdown and social isolation in New York,, I found myself disheartened by the influences and resources available for connectivity online. I decided I wanted to create a new social media culture that was intention, rather than attention driven.

Thus, my best friend JC and I made VATER, the app to CaptiVATE, ActiVATE, MotiVATE and EleVATE people. Where Humans, Evolve.

Here is the pitchdeck.

And here is the beta.

Welcome to VATER.

Imagine Pokémon GO! but for real-world sports and activities. A platform to find your people, move your body, and grow together. VATER redefines what a “fitness app” can be — it is an activity app where every activity is celebrated.

Only 28% of Americans get enough movement. VATER aims to change that by making activity feel like play. Movement that’s joyful, social, sustainable. From 28% to 100% — that’s the mission.

Use VATER to search by activity (like dance, skating, basketball), find People and Places, and form your Pack. Trying to surf this summer? VATER shows you local surf spots, friends who surf, and who might want to teach or learn with you. Make a plan right in the app with a shared calendar — no more “we should hang out” texts that go nowhere.

Real friendships form through hobbies and play. That’s what we’re creating: a platform that fosters real connection and consistent motivation.

Prefer working out solo? I feel you — that was me during COVID. I made VATER for people like us too. The ones who saved fitness videos on Instagram and never revisited them. Here, you’ll get suggested routines based on what you saved — and reminders to actually do them. You can also subscribe to a trainer or become one, whether you're teaching ollies or deadlift form. Everyone has something to offer.

Alright, that's the pitch in short!

Here are the features below.

Have fun, and go out and VATE. 

Did you buy a pair of rollerskates during COVID just to have them sit on the shelf because you didn’t know where to start?

Wish you had a platform where it was easy to get your squad together for a game of pick up?

Looking for a tennis partner?

In VATER, the features aren’t just features.

They’re tools for evolution:

• Search – Find your people. Find your places.
• Social Media -- Share videos of you Vating and append your Health data from Apple's Health Kit.
• Trainers -- Find who motivates you and subscribe to them
• "Vates" – Every user can give one a day. Like a sacred “like” for who moved you.
• Vaterboard – The more Vates you get, the more you Shine. Peep the most VATED and give some props. Stay tuned to see what your Vates get you.
• Streaks – Because showing up every day? That’s hot.
• The Feed – Brain rot not on the menu. We get VATED.
• Packs – Crews. Squads. Chosen fam. Iron sharpens iron.
• 30-Min Timer – Scroll with intention. Then it’s time to go Vate.
• Challenges, crypto rewards, IRL events – Fun is now a business model. Stay active, get paid. Simple. Face off with your friends or competition in Challenges!

Time to dust off those rollerskates and make your Pack!

Because we’re VATERs, no matter where we are in our journey.
