Mission

Kabata is building the next generation in strength training, starting with the world's first AI-powered dumbbells.

The company is backed by world-class VCs & angels, including:

• Menlo Ventures
• Tribe Capital
• Naval Ravikant (AngelList founder)
• Zaza Pachulia & Kirk Lacob (Golden State Warriors front office)
• Dan Gilbert (owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers)
• Andy Dunn (Bonobos founder)
• Nakisa Bidarian (manages Jake Paul; ex-UFC CFO)
• Bradley Chubb (2x Pro Bowl NFL linebacker), and more.

Where the first generation of connected fitness has created products that are bulky, expensive, and lack personalization, Kabata solves those pain points.

Delivered in a compact, cost-effective offering, Kabata tracks & comprehends all your workout data (reps, time under tension, velocity, volume, power, fatigue), sends those metrics back to you in gamified, real-time charts, and runs AI on that data to coach & progress you.

This uniquely data-driven approach allows us to curate effective, personalized workouts tailored to you & your body. Additionally, Kabata AI employs form correction & strain analysis in addition to velocity-based training, scientifically proven to help you become stronger & more explosive while also reducing the risk of injury.

The team comes from leading organizations including: Apple, iRobot, Whoop, Peloton, Nike, Felicis, Meta, Tonal, Postmates, Amazon, UCLA & Stanford & is actively looking for its next rockstar. Welcome to the next generation in strength training - powered by AI!
