The Insight

Strava is a tracker.
ClubRival is a club.

Run trackers turn fitness into solo data. They optimize you for upload-and-scroll. We're building the opposite — a tight, competitive layer that puts your real-world running club first, ranks you against the people you actually run with, and turns every effort into something you can spend on coffee, recovery, and the local brands you already love. Effort, place, and reward — bound together.

For Runners

Three steps to your
first claimed reward.

01

Join your club

Pick from running clubs in your area or create one with your crew. Members log runs manually or via Apple Health / Strava sync (post-beta). The leaderboard updates live.

02

Compete in challenges

Distance challenges, streak challenges, sunset runs, intervals — your club admin sets the format. Climb the leaderboard, watch the gold halo on rank one, defend your top-five.

03

Claim local rewards

Hit a goal, unlock offers from local brands inside the in-app marketplace. Tap to claim a discount code, get walking directions, redeem at the counter. No middleman fees.

For Brands

Hyper-local foot traffic from the most engaged customer in fitness.

ClubRival members aren't passive scrollers. They show up on Sunday mornings, hit their kilometers, and are looking for somewhere to eat, recover, and refuel right after. We send them to your door with a coupon in hand — at zero cost during the closed beta.

  • No setup fee. No monthly fee. No transaction cut during beta. Provide a redemption code (e.g. 20% off, 1 free class); we feature your offer.
  • Lead-gen only. No payment processing, no inventory sync, no integration work. Members redeem at your counter exactly the way they already do.
  • Pre-qualified, hyper-local audience. Members are filtered to your radius and matched on category — fitness, nutrition, wellness, recovery.
  • Earned reach, not paid ads. Members claim your offer because they hit a personal goal. The redemption is a celebration. The brand association is positive by design.
  • Real reporting. Once the vendor portal launches, you'll see views, claims, and redemptions in real time. Until then, monthly summary email.
  • Curated, not crowded. We hand-onboard the first wave of partners. You're not stacked next to 200 listings — you're in a tight, premium roster.

For Investors

A tight, two-sided
local marketplace
built on running.

ClubRival sits at the intersection of three large, growing markets: connected fitness, local commerce / lead-gen, and community-as-a-product social. Below is a high-level brief. Full deck and data room available on request.

Market opportunity

US Local Commerce TAM $1.4T
US Connected Fitness $45B
Loyalty + Local Lead-Gen SAM $12B
SOM — Y3 cohort markets (top 10 US metros) $280M

Why now

  • Run-club resurgence. Post-pandemic, urban running clubs are the fastest-growing in-person social format among 25-40 year olds. NYC alone added 200+ clubs in three years.
  • Local commerce is digitizing without a category winner. Yelp, Groupon, and Foursquare have all retreated. Toast and Mindbody own the back office. Nothing owns the qualified consumer-to-merchant intent loop.
  • Strava monetizes content, not commerce. They sit on the activity layer but aren't building the local economy around it. We do.
  • PWA distribution unlocks zero-cost iOS launch. Bypassing app stores collapses launch friction and CAC for both sides.
  • AI content creates lock-in. Personalized challenge generation and audience matching get cheaper every month — the moat is the local brand network and the in-club social graph.
Business model

Free for runners, always.
Brands pay for outcomes.

Phase 1 · Beta
Build the network. Free.

First 30 brand partners onboarded free. We curate, we hand-hold, we co-design offers. Goal: prove redemption density per club, baseline LTV per merchant, before we monetize.

Phase 2 · Public launch
Tiered subscriptions.

Brands pay $99–$499/mo for tiered visibility, analytics, and audience matching. Founding cohort grandfathered. Members stay free. Estimated gross margin: 80%+.

Phase 3 · Scale
Performance + data.

Add performance tier (per-redemption fee), aggregated category insights for brands, and a sponsored-challenges layer for national wellness sponsors. Members still free.

FAQ

Common questions.

When does the public launch happen? +
Closed beta is live now in Brooklyn (PWA on iOS + Android web). Open registration across all of NYC is targeted for Q3 2026, followed by East Coast metros in Q4. Native iOS + Android app store launches accompany Q4 expansion.
Why a PWA instead of an app store launch? +
Speed and zero-cost distribution. The PWA installs from the browser as a real app — fullscreen, your icon on the home screen, offline shell. We ship updates instantly without store review. Native iOS + Android builds follow once we've validated the loop with real users.
How is this different from Strava or Nike Run Club? +
Strava optimizes the solo content loop — upload, scroll, kudos. Nike Run Club is a coaching tool. Neither builds a local economy around your effort. ClubRival treats the run club as the unit of community and the local brand network as the reward layer. Different product, different KPI, different defensibility.
As a brand, do I need to integrate with anything technical? +
No. You provide a redemption code (a discount, free class, comp item — your choice), we list your offer, members claim it in-app and present the code at your counter. No POS integration, no inventory sync, no API. When the vendor portal launches you'll be able to issue and rotate codes yourself.
What happens to founding partner brands after beta? +
The first 30 brand partners stay free for the duration of beta and the first three months of the public launch. After that, you migrate to a paid tier with 90 days notice. Founding partners receive grandfathered pricing for the lifetime of the partnership.
What's the round size and use of funds? +
Pre-seed round opens Q3 2026. Target raise, valuation, and instrument are detailed in the deck. Use of funds is concentrated on (1) brand acquisition and partner success in the next three metros, (2) engineering velocity to ship native iOS / Android, and (3) one full-time growth lead. Request the deck above for specifics.
Who is behind this? +
ClubRival is a Hyperius Holdings venture. Hyperius is a Texas-based multi-vertical holding company operating six active ventures across tech, AI, consumer, and infrastructure. Engineering, design, and ops are shared across the portfolio. More about Hyperius →
