We just raised $13M Series A. Rocapine builds wellness apps that hold instead of hook: apps that earn their place in your day instead of stealing it.$6M ARR, 2.5M+ downloads, multiple hits, in under a year. Here's the bet 🧵 Technology was supposed to make us greater. For decades it did. The Flynn Effect saw IQs climb generation after generation: we grew smarter, healthier, more connected. Then something flipped. Over the last two decades the promise broke. IQ scores started falling. The tools built to lift us began wearing us down. Today we each spend 5h16m a day on phones designed to hook us. The apps winning right now don't earn attention, they engineer it, then sell it. The emptier we feel, the better their numbers look. We started Rocapine to flip that script. Apps that hold instead of hook. The result so far: $6M ARR, 2.5M+ downloads, multiple hits in under a year. Now we're scaling: $13M Series A to help 40M people feel truly alive in the next five years.If you build apps or run a studio and want to build things that hold instead of hook, our DMs are open. Come build with us. 👇
