Company mission
To bring the worlds of physical and financial rewards together by rewarding users for doing the types of physical activities they love most.
Our take
Paceline is sitting at an interesting intersection between the worlds of health tech and financial services. The platform rewards users who reach specified levels of elevated heart rate activity each week, as tracked by wearables like Fitbits and Apple Watches. The fitness tech sector has been growing in recent years, thanks in large part to the development of wearables, and so Paceline certainly has the opportunity to take advantage of this growth.
The company provide a credit card scheme which offers rewards in the form of cashback on health and wellness purchases. This approach has previously helped other companies nudge consumer eating, shopping, and travel habits, as well as cultivate strong brand loyalty. This creates a compelling proposition for Paceline and their brand partners alike.
Some customers, however, may baulk at the shopping habit data passed on by Paceline to partner brands in exchange for rewards. This could prove tricky terrain to navigate as data privacy laws develop.

From day 1, I have been involved in projects and growth hack ideas that challenge the conventional thought process. As a start-up, we need to stand out and do something that has not been done before so I am always challenged to think outside the box.
