Investors Prepared: 12 December 2025

PLANDAT investor memo

Offline-first workout tracking with wearable automation and AI progress intelligence.

Rough plan (high level)

0–90 days (post-funding)

  • Ship v1: offline execution + scheduling + timers + notes + baseline analytics.
  • Ship Fitbit integration (read data) and premium cloud sync.
  • Run 3 acquisition experiments and report CAC, D7/D30 retention, conversion, churn.

3–12 months

  • Hit ≥ 100k MAU with ≥ 12% D30 retention (or equivalent for ICP).
  • Launch AI insight v2 and prove uplift in retention and paid conversion.
  • Release web parity; open commerce with a small SKU set.

Rough fundraising terms (illustrative)

We’re targeting a SAFE raise of £250k–£500k for roughly 10% dilution (before accounting for the employee option pool).

Using the simple cap approximation (cap ≈ investment × 9 for 10%), this implies:

  • £250k for ~10% → implied cap around £2.25m
  • £500k for ~10% → implied cap around £4.5m

We also plan an employee option pool of 10%, which will dilute founders/investors depending on how it’s created (pre/post-money in the next priced round).

Confidential — for discussion purposes.

1. Investment highlights

  • Clear wedge: strength training users want in-gym execution + insights, not another workout library.
  • Offline-first + scheduling + timers is a concrete usability edge (works in real gyms).
  • Wearable integration (Fitbit first) enables automated context and higher-value analytics.
  • Premium model aligns value (AI + cloud sync) with willingness to pay; comparable apps charge £3–£16/month.
  • Expansion path: web parity + commerce store creates a second revenue engine beyond subscriptions.

2. Company & product

PLANDAT is a workout tracking platform with:

  • Workout plan builder (reps/sets/rest), scheduling by day/hour, session execution flow.
  • Offline mode as default; sync is a premium feature.
  • Fitbit integration to incorporate activity/heart-rate context and reduce manual capture.
  • AI assistant to summarise sessions, explain trends, and recommend next-step adjustments.
  • Web app with feature parity + integrated commerce store (planned).

5. Go-to-market

Acquisition (early)

  • Gym/trainer partnerships (door-to-door): affiliate onboarding; PTs distribute plans and drive installs.
  • Paid acquisition tests: workout tracker keywords + wearable owners.
  • Creators: lifters demonstrate the timer-led workflow and weekly insight loop.

Retention levers

  • Scheduled sessions & streaks, adherence scoring, PR milestones.
  • Weekly AI performance review: what improved, what stalled, what to do next.
  • Progressive personalisation (not generic templates).

6. Business model

  • Freemium: offline-first core is free to maximise adoption and habit formation.
  • Premium: cloud sync + AI + advanced analytics + deeper integrations.
  • Commerce: accessory-first, then limited apparel drops once demand is proven.
  • Long-term: trainer seats or revenue share for B2B2C distribution.

8. Financial snapshot (illustrative)

These numbers are illustrative and should be replaced with observed metrics once we have real usage data.

Year Active users (MAU) Paid subscribers Revenue (GBP) Key assumptions
Y1 50,000 1,500 £180k 3% conversion; £10/mo blended; soft-launch UK
Y2 250,000 12,500 £1.5m 5% conversion; £10/mo blended; add web, AI insights v2; scale ads
Y3 800,000 56,000 £6.72m 7% conversion; £10/mo blended; improved retention; add commerce & partners

Revenue assumes subscription only (excludes commerce) and is calculated as paid subscribers × £10 × 12.

Cost drivers

  • Engineering & product (largest early cost).
  • AI inference & data storage (variable; keep premium-gated and cached).
  • Paid acquisition (scale only after retention is proven).
  • Commerce: inventory and fulfilment (mitigate via accessories/preorders).

9. Fundraising ask

  • Pre-seed (SAFE): £250k–£500k to ship v1, validate retention/conversion, and prove the insight loop.
  • Seed: £1.0m–£2.5m to scale acquisition, expand integrations, launch web parity and commerce.

Use of funds (example split)

  • 60% product & engineering
  • 15% data/AI
  • 15% growth experiments
  • 10% ops/legal/security

10. Data room checklist

  • Product: roadmap, architecture overview, security model, privacy policy (GDPR), app store listings.
  • Traction: cohort retention, funnel conversion, subscription metrics, churn, NPS/qualitative feedback.
  • Market: positioning, ICP definition, competitor comparisons, pricing tests.
  • Financials: 3-year model, assumptions, burn/runway, hiring plan.
  • Legal: IP assignment, cap table, terms, third-party licences, Fitbit API compliance.
