Berlin-based actio, an app that connects you to real coaches and a global community for fitness, mindfulness, and self-optimisation, has raised €10M in its Seed round of funding from Heal Capital, alongside HV Capital & Cavalry Ventures. 

Nikita Fahrenholz and Daniel Stahlkopf are the founders of actio. Delivery Hero and foodspring are two of their successful projects. Their goal is to create a platform, democratise professional coaching and make it affordable for everyone.

How is actio different from its competitors?

Founded in 2019, actio is a platform and live community for people who want to optimise themselves and their lives in the long run. The platform offers more than 100 different live courses on a daily basis. Some of these courses include, meditation (e.g. Monday Anxiety Relief, Care & Love), Pilates to yoga (e.g. Bed-Time, Flex & Flow), Happiness Journaling or fitness offers (e.g. HIIT, Ballet/Barre), the courses are on average 15 minutes long. 

According to the company, the actio app is based on a specially developed VoIP call software that connects users with real coaches worldwide and brings them together in group calls.

The company believes, in order to create a new routine, the brain needs a powerful trigger. And this is where actio claims to be making a difference. It replaces app notifications with calls to motivate its users. So, instead of a push notification, participants receive a call before the course begins.

Eckhardt Weber, Partner, and MD of Heal Capital says, “actio hits exactly the zeitgeist with its product. We all start with good intentions and usually fail after just a few weeks. actio, with its motivating approach, manages to establish healthy and positive routines in everyday life that will strengthen well-being and health in the long term.“
