"The pandemic has shown us that employers can’t just talk about supporting their employees’ health and wellbeing anymore, they have to take action. More and more leading businesses are turning to us to provide the support their people really need – not a one-size-fits all solution, but support that is trustworthy, personalised and delivered by experts. We’re still at the surface of what is possible for Peppy."

In addition to Cornerstone, we have a number of other angels participating in this round, who bring value in a multiple of ways. Together we believe this will help us deliver on our mission to create a connected fitness product that makes boxing inspired fitness accessible to all. We are extremely excited to see what the future holds."
