Antonio Duarte, the mastermind behind Toteemi, a unique platform that combines health and video games, has achieved remarkable success with his innovative concept. Launched in 2022, Toteemi has rapidly gained popularity, boasting 40,000 active users and generating a revenue of 25,000 euros in 2023. The platform is set to surpass 250,000 euros in revenue this year, marking a significant milestone in its growth.
The idea for Toteemi stemmed from Duarte’s experience with Strava, a sports training tool that tracks performance data. Recognizing the potential to gamify fitness challenges, Duarte, along with partners Pamela Zuloaga and Fernando Pascua, founded Toteemi to incentivize users to participate in cycling and athletic races. The platform has since expanded globally, attracting users from countries like Australia, Korea, and Mexico.
Targeting amateur sports enthusiasts, particularly cyclists, Toteemi offers competitive elements to motivate users to achieve their fitness goals. Through missions and challenges, users can compete for rewards based on their personal achievements on Strava. The platform has also secured sponsorships from leading sports brands like Decathlon, Samsung, and LastLap to drive revenue growth.
With plans to introduce a premium tier and expand internationally, Toteemi is poised for further success in 2024. The company aims to increase its revenue to 250,000 euros and grow its user base to 250,000, with expansion plans in Europe, the US, and Latin America. Collaborations with industry partners like Garmin API signal ongoing growth and innovation for Toteemi, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the intersection of health and gaming.
