The future of fitness has arrived! ?? Kabata's #AI Dumbbells officially shipped to customers, marking a breakthrough in strength training. With adaptive weight, real-time coaching, and AI-driven insights, Kabata is redefining how people train. Read more below!
They say, "Hardware's hard. It's impossible. You'll never get there." I say, "That's exactly why I'm here." We did it. Today, the first-ever Kabata AI Dumbbells officially shipped to customers. What started as an idea—a belief that strength training could be reimagined, more personalized, and more effective—has finally become reality. This journey has been filled with late nights, early mornings, setbacks, breakthroughs, and relentless perseverance from our small but mighty team. For decades, strength training has been stuck in the past—disconnected, difficult, intimidating, and analog. Kabata changes that. With adaptive weight, real-time coaching, and data-driven progress, this is a true first-of-its-kind product. Not only did we build something that has never existed before, we did it with world-class craftsmanship, pouring our hearts and souls into every detail - and all with only 7 people full-time and <$10M in funding. Industry leaders consistently affirm that Kabata is the most accurate and engaging product they've ever tested. Once you try it, it’s clear - this is how people will forever work out. Today, the Kabata app features close to 50 movements and over 75 workouts (and counting!) with perfect rep counting, range of motion (ROM) detection, symmetry analysis, velocity-based training, and form correction—all with no camera needed. With our sensors, algorithms, and proprietary AI/ML technology, Kabata will power the next generation of products, studios, and modalities, embedding intelligence at their core as we revolutionize the industry. Thank you to our early adopters & investors for believing in us before the world caught up. And thank you to my world-class team for working hard to change the world and improve people's health. I couldn’t be more grateful to work alongside such a talented group of individuals. You guys deserve all the credit and more. Working out is hard. But it doesn’t have to be. The Kabata revolution is here. Welcome to the future of fitness. ?? #fitness #strengthtraining #kabata #futureoffitness #ai

It doesn't get much better than this... Last Friday, Remento landed a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank! ?? ?? The first time I met Mark was on a beach in Miami with some college friends in 2012. After a bit of chit chat, we asked him: “What advice do you have for a few aspiring entrepreneurs?” I'll never forget what he said: “Get off this beach and go build something.” 13 years later, I couldn’t be happier that he'll be helping us reinvent how families preserve their most important memories. Welcome to Team Remento, Mark! ?? Link to the full episode in the comments (also watchable on Hulu). ----- For those new to Remento, we help you turn your parent's stories into a keepsake book featuring their voice: ?? You pick storytelling prompts ?? They record their spoken answers ?? Remento turns their recordings into a book of written stories ?? Scan the QR codes printed inside to hear their voice For them, it's a memoir that writes itself. And for you, it's their stories and voice, forever at your fingertips. #sharktank #sharktankusa #startups

Blockchain’s future depends on building bridges—between Web2 and Web3, founders and investors, and innovation and impact. Check out some of Bryan Liu’s key takeaways from #ETHDenver and why collaboration, not competition, will drive the next wave of Web3.
ETHDenver 2025: Why Blockchain Needs More Bridges (and Fewer Egos) Just spent a whirlwind week at #ETHDenver. A few reflections that stuck with me: 1?? Build for the world we?actually?live in. Thrilled to see projects tackling real-world problems with blockchain as a bridge, not a buzzword. But we need?more founders?thinking beyond "crypto for crypto's sake." The future isn’t Web3?or?Web2, it’s both, solving tangible human needs. Let’s build tools that don’t just live on Discord. 2?? VCs: Drop the ego, pick up the curiosity. Watched a junior investor grill a founder… without understanding their work. A reminder:?Our job isn’t to be the smartest in the room.?Founders live and breathe their vision; we’re here to listen, learn, and amplify. Humility > hubris. Always. 3?? The best part of Web3? The humans. My favorite #ETHDenver tradition? Taking a selfie with every new connection (shoutout to the?205 brilliant souls?below ??). This ecosystem thrives on collaboration, not competition. Keep that spirit alive. To founders building bridges between today and tomorrow:?Let’s chat.? To fellow VCs: Stay curious, stay kind. P.S. That mosaic? Just 205 reasons why I love this community.???
