Winning Idea by yapatel

The Idea

Utilize mobile apps and social media to create a tool that allow individuals to meet/setup workout buddies and times, create location-based community activities that promote active lifestyles, and make new friends in the community.

The Specifics

Our schedules are becoming exponentially more chaotic every day with never-ending task-list and only a few breaks in our schedules that allow us to get outside or hit the gym. This idea aims to simplify the chaos by allowing members to simply log in on a website or their smartphone app and create publicly available events for all to see. Users can setup a pick-up soccer game with a time and location, or a long run with a starting point and publish the event for anyone interested in joining. Users can also privately specify workout buddies and times so that someone is always giving you that extra encouragement. The funds provided by GOOD will allow app/website development, and for marketing to communities of all sizes, everywhere.

You cannot build such an app for 3 platforms (as the logo seems to indicate) for $1000. I should know.. I work for a mobile app firm. Good idea, but this is totally the wrong forum and price for it.
