Hiring Manager Roger King

Who we are

Balanced is an early-stage, venture-backed startup creating a digital fitness platform to build a healthspan that matches our new lifespans. The next frontier of healthcare is preventative – not reactive. The industry today focuses a large majority of resources on reactive treatments for disease. We are committed to helping older adults maintain vibrancy in their lives, with an exercise platform that promises community, joy, and a personalized experience to rebel against the decline of aging.

We’re proudly a NYC-based company with a hybrid schedule. We’re in pursuit of product-market-fit and co-locate at our production studio on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Engineering joins the rest of the team on Wednesdays for Balanced Weeklies (our version of an all hands).
