Company
Habit Labs
Friends motivate each other to build habits.
We're building Budge, a social behavior change platform where friends commit to habits together and hold each other accountable. It helps people stick to health and wellness routines by linking their efforts, like 'I'll do x if you do y.'
We currently live in Seattle, WA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
Seattle is where our team is based, and it has a growing tech community supportive of consumer social health products. Staying here lets us focus on building without relocation hassle.
