Day-J Raises $2.1M in Pre-Seed Funding, Launches Private Beta Waitlist
Summary
The platform’s concierge service provides users with individually tailored “playlists” of recommendations to reinforce healthy habits throughout the day. “If the only thing near you is fast food, we might suggest something like Chick-fil-a, but provide you with the best choice at Chick-fil-a,” Joe Perez, co-founder and CEO of Day-J, said in an interview with Built In. For one, not everyone can afford it, so that’s not realistic.” The app takes a 360-degree approach to health and wellness by covering four key areas: fitness, nutrition, mindset and recovery. “Tastemade is similar to Day-J in that it’s really bringing up people in their own areas, it’s very global, and the content is very specific to each region, it’s done in their language,” Perez continued. “So we don’t have this arrogance where we’re just saying, hey, we’re going to take American content and just export it all over the world.” Accessibility has been a top priority for Perez and his co-founder since the inception of Day-J.
