The startup which raised $220M, for you to stay home while working out
If you struggled with keeping a healthy day-to-day routine during the lockdowns, or just needed to both work out and to stay home, at the same time – Tempo tries to give a solution exactly to that need, and provides customers with a home gym. The five-year-old startup has raised $220M in a series C round, which was led by SoftBank. Moawia Eledeeb, one of the co-founders, has said: “Being a personal trainer once, I remember charging $150 an hour.
