Smol Coach helps fitness and wellness businesses launch online sessions and build their own studio/practice online. We aim to be Shopify (or rather, the Mindbodylive) for online-first fitness and wellness. We're fully Zoom integrated, with new features every 2 weeks.
Covid slapped our earlier startup in the face, we almost shut it down, and then one night, a random idea led to what is now Smol Coach. Intrigued? Sequoia published its doom and gloom memo the day I started fundraising for my earlier startup in March 2020 - and being stuck in isolated quarantine, jet-lagged, and watching users lose jobs (and therefore have no way to pay us), made for a godawful combination.
I wanted an easy way to meet interesting people during this time, so I used Zapier and Airtable to build the earliest version of Smol Coach - kinda like a Skillshare.
After this, @anbarasiu, @nean and I got a flood of requests to make the product more easy to use for professionals who were now running their business online - and so we decided to give this startup thing another go.
We've seen multiple startups launch online events and classes - but we wanted to focus on a vertical that we had a passion for, and so we're launching Smol Coach as a product for online fitness and wellness professionals, today.

Last time I visited smol coach (pre-pandemic) you guys were open for all niches.
Love that you have niched down to fitness and wellness.
I feel a little unease with the name. Wouldn't a different name specific to fitness and wellness create a better brand?
@alicodermaker Haha thanks Ali. We like the name Smol because it represents our brand - friendly and nimble and filled with positivity. We hope you come to see it the same way!
