The prize has been given due to Isham Broer’s innovative approach in supporting the public’s health and fitness levels. The STRIVE Accelerator supports startups and small businesses in achieving significant momentum over a 12-week period. The Award was presented to Mr Broer outside the House of Commons in London. High-Velocity Startups' founder Raihan Islam met Isham Broer at The Business Show at Excel London where Mr Broer delivered a pitch detailing his vision for Jim.

The fitness tech startup Jim, focuses on leveraging technology and automation in its user experience to support everyday people in increasing consistency in exercise and nutrition. Jim offers users a personalised experience through a questionnaire that is then assessed to provide a composite exercise and nutrition plan using an expert-reviewed database of fitness programs.

Raihan Islam commented: “Jim shows real potential. The company demonstrates a focus on agility, cost-effectiveness, and measurable value for clients. I reviewed Mr Broer’s plans, helped refine them, and felt confident about the funding.”

Winner, Isham Broer commented: “These days, everyone is bombarded by all types of information, and they are lacking confidence that what they are reading will actually work. The Internet and social media have empowered a lot of people, but these tools have also made it difficult to trust the information we see. This prize boosts our ability to refine our technology. We appreciate High-Velocity Startups for their support.”
