Born Beside the Hutt River
It started with Saturday morning walks along Riverside Drive in Waterloo — neighbours sharing what they were working on: an earlier start, more water, less scrolling before bed. No pitch deck, no investors — just good kōrero and mutual support.
When mates moved to Palmerston North and night shifts made meetups tricky, we shifted online. Turns out the format worked better: async check-ins suited shift workers, and written reflections gave people something to look back on. By 2022, we'd formalised the 21-day sprint structure that still shapes every challenge.
Riverside Kōrero
Informal habit-sharing walks along Riverside Drive. No branding, no fees — just the community lending a hand.
About a dozen regulars. Common themes: morning movement, screen boundaries, and getting kai sorted for the week.
Going Digital
First structured 21-day challenge via shared spreadsheets and a messaging group. Forty participants from Wellington and beyond.
Feedback was clear: defined start dates and peer accountability worked — without needing daily video calls.
Platform Launch
Custom tracker, prompt cards, and micro-crew matching. Challenges expanded well past the Wellington region.
Twelve challenge themes created — from hydration to evening wind-down routines.
