About Sweatty — quotable boilerplate (~80 words)

Sweatty is a partner-matching platform for sport and exercise. It connects people who train the same sports, at the same levels, on the same schedule — running buddies, gym partners, climbing partners, padel pairs. Every account is verified by phone; liveness photo checks are in build and not yet active in the pilot. Matches happen inside the app; personal numbers stay private. Sweatty connects, the user decides. Founded by Jordan and Benjamin Ocran, based in the UK. Sweatty is currently in open pilot.

Founders

Jordan — Co-founder

[TBC — Jordan to confirm what he wants public: prior companies, education, why Sweatty exists, where he's based day-to-day, what he wants journalists to ask about (and not ask about). A short bio of 80–120 words sits best here.]

Recent coverage

Nothing to show yet — Sweatty is in open pilot. When the first articles land, they'll be listed here with the outlet, the headline, and a link. We'd rather show an empty section than fake credibility.

Story angles we can actually speak to

  • → Why most gym memberships go unused, and what social accountability does to that number.
  • → The honest limits of "safety" on people-meeting apps — what verification can and can't do.
  • → Building a UK pilot from two co-founders, async, pre-funding.
  • → Why the matching engine deliberately ignores photos and attractiveness signals.
