Will Ahmed

And I think if they wanna continue having that kind of business relationship, they need to be, um, more sensitive, I think, with how issues are dealt with when it's, like, one person.

But I think just on a more exciting note, because we like to keep things fun around here, Whoop, the human performance company founded in 2012 by Egyptian-American entrepreneur Will Ahmed, has launched its app in Arabic.

So it's offering users personalized insights into sleep, recovery, and health.

The launch comes as Whoop's membership across the GCC has apparently grown more than seventy-five percent year on year, with the company expanding its regional presence through a dedicated UAE office and retail partnerships.

It's a way of approaching challenges.

Take, for example, the work of Will Ahmed, member of the Harvard College Class of 2012 and founder of Whoop.

A varsity squash player, Will became interested in measuring the body, what it means to be fit, to peak on a given day, to crash on a given day.

He wanted to understand what his body was trying to tell him.

We have a great panel.

We have Will Ahmed, who, uh, coming back, Harvard undergrad, founded his company here out of the i-Lab.

We're so proud of him.

Love what he's doing.

Yeah.

I can't tell you how many articles, how many different things that Will Ahmed had to put out about the point of not having a screen.

Right.

This had to be said so many times, and now everybody wants a freaking screenless device.

And I think that is probably the part that's most exciting.

And, you know, Will Ahmed, our CEO, my boss, often says, you know, we're entering a new era where every person can have continuous 24-7 understanding of their health, right? And I think that is something that's new that we can take, we can empower people.

And then I will address kind of the second part, which is, You can learn about your information.

You can see when you are trending in a good direction or a direction that you're trying to avoid.

We should be.

Yeah, well, it tells you here that the founder, Will, A-H-M-E-D, was a collegiate athlete.

And he was interested in finding out how training went and helped his body.

He knew that he could overtrain or miss his sleep or not prioritize things in his life.
