Idea

Introduction

Coopah is on a mission to build the world’s smartest digital sports coach. 50% of people who start a training plan will quit before 60 days. We have built a digital run coach app that automatically personalises training and uses gamification to keep users engaged. With over 6,000 users, average WoW sign up growth of 46% and retention rates of over 80% (10x the industry benchmark) we know we are on to something.

Our company is powered by a belief we can use running to help prevent mental health crises. So as well as selling subscriptions to our digital run coach app, we’ve created a Refugee Run Club with the aim of supporting Refugees by making sport accessible and inviting to them. It’s changed the runners' lives forever and transformed their mental health. We’ve been featured across 13 publications generating a 25 million person reach.

Substantial accomplishments to date

🎯 We have developed an automated training application which has seen over 80% Day 30 retention – 10x the benchmark for health and fitness apps.

🧠 We have the backing of some industry legends. Gareth Nettleton (ex VP of Marketing at Strava), a number of Olympians and George Kruis are joining as part of the Seedrs crowd in this round, showing their belief that we are a much-needed solution.


🏃‍♀️ We expect to agree an investment and a 3-year rolling contract to promote Coopah as the training provider for all London Marathon Events.

🤝 Proven a low-cost user acquisition route with event partners and have a great opportunity to expand on this through London Marathon.

🧡 Developed a social impact side to the business with our Refugee Run Club which gives refugees kit, training and race entries.

Monetisation strategy

Coopah has achieved 46% WoW growth to date with our community at the heart of all that we do.

With users paying £6.99 a month for their subscriptions and having recently introduced an annual plan of £79.99 which has seen over 25% of users move onto this we want to continue to drive growth via both D2C and through our event partners. A strong trial with event partners in 2022 showed a 45% conversion to users and we aim to continue improving this and invest behind this growth, especially through the London Marathon events partnership.

As we develop V2 of the app, our dynamic training plans will become even more personalised, with the aim to keep customers retained and improve our growth rate with the goal of expanding into swim, cycle and triathlon plans.

Use of proceeds

Proceeds will be used for growth capital in 3 key areas:

1) Launch and grow our event partner model - execute the London Marathon Events partnership and continue to grow with global races

2) Brand Marketing Charge - content overhaul, strong brand messaging and brand collaborations to grow our WoW growth even higher than 46%

3) Product Development; make key hires to strive to have the most personalised training product on the market

London Marathon Events are participating as a strategic investor in this round and they will enter a special partnership upon completion. As a strategic investor and as part of that partnership, LME will receive different investment terms to other investors in the round, including Seedrs. Investors should be aware of this partnership and of the terms of the investment by reading the Key Information section.

Investor Perks

Please note that any discounts, rewards and/or offers listed by a company in its campaign are subject to the terms and conditions applied by that company and listed above. It is the company’s responsibility to honour such discounts, rewards and/or offers and Seedrs does not take any responsibility for them.

Key Information

London Marathon Events Agreement

London Marathon Events (LME) are expected to become a shareholder and investor in addition to entering into a commercial agreement to support the promotion of the business. The terms of LME’s investment are different to the terms that other investors in the round will receive, including Seedrs investors. Seedrs investors should review these terms as part of their investment decision.

Equity

In return for certain services provided by LME to Coopah, LME will receive a 12.5% stake in the business.

LME will also invest £40,000 at a 20% discount to the share price set in this round. That means LME will invest at a £13.97 share price. If the campaign overfunds then LME will increase their investment up to a total of £50k so that they represent 10% of the total amount raised.

LME will continue to receive a 20% discount on any future investment round by the company for the 5 years following their investment. Seedrs investors are not expected to benefit from this discount.

The shares to be issued in respect of the 12.5% equity for services, and the investment of up to £50,000 at a 20% discount, have been factored into the pre-money valuation for this campaign and are not reflected in the amount raised.

Key Terms between LME and Coopah

The commercial deal contains various rights for LME including some specific circumstances where they may gain control of the company's technical IP.

In the case that the business winds up or stops providing a training product for runners then LME will have the right to a copy of the source code and a royalty free license to use the code. Neither of these rights give them access to the Coopah brand or stop Coopah trading the app themselves.

LME will also have the right to the app source code in the case that the company is sold or the assets are transferred to an acquirer that is conflicting with LME.

LME has no control over the Coopah brand and excluding the above circumstances does not have any control over the Coopah IP.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £4,063,518

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Find out more

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Seedrs Nominee). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
