What Founders Have Said About My Previous Programs

These are quotes from participants in a previous project I led, where we focused on helping founders achieve their health and fitness goals. This new program builds on those experiences, incorporating even more tools and AI-driven coaching for measurable transformations.

I just want to say I've done Daniel's projects like this, and it's an amazing/transformative experience. His thoughtfulness in getting over the hump is spot on. I'm still running regularly based on his half marathon project from 4 years ago.

Jason Freedman

YC Founder

Maslo saved my life (not hyperbole). My cholesterol went from 380 to 231, my triglycerides went from 643 to 99, and I'm down 28 lbs. The support, guidance, and accountability made me realize that physical fitness is possible! A huge thanks to Daniel Ahmadizadeh and the team.

JG

Jim Gibbs

YC Founder

30 days ago, I was running 3 miles and didn't think 13 was possible. I just ran a half-marathon! The accountability and community helped me accomplish more than I thought possible. I'm bullish that Maslo is at the beginning of not just a new way to reach health goals but a new healthcare system.
