Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

A recent study has found that desk workers spend an average of 1,700 hours a year sitting at their laptop or computer, leading to musculoskeletal issues, eye strain, and tiredness. Moreover, a different study has found that 60% of employees reported pain associated with a musculoskeletal issue at any moment. Employers are thus legally required to provide employees with safe working environments, but the solutions currently implemented are usually superficial, with no real impact on employees' wellbeing.

Vitrue VIDA is a startup that solves this problem by using cutting-edge technologies developed with surgeons and professional athletes to enable early detection of musculoskeletal conditions and to provide desk workers with personalised treatment.

Vitrue VIDA's strategic growth plan is to offer its comprehensive SaaS product at a very low price, standing out from its competitors. This makes it an affordable and attractive option for employers and will help in growing their customer base.

Alex and Shane work really well together, and bring unique but very complementary skills to the leadership team. Between them I feel that I understand exactly what the vision is, and where the priorities lie, which enables me to self-determine where I can best spend my time.

Strong leadership

Jun 2022

Every week we have an All-Hands meeting where everyone gets an overview of what each team has been up to, what has gone well or badly, and where we can help each other to clear a path if necessary. Everything that has happened during the week comes up during this meeting including things like finances, client relations, investment, and feature development. Previous places I've worked have kept these details among the management team for longer, preferring only to give out the good news.

Everyone at Vitrue is just so lovely. I've only been here for a short amount of time and I already feel super settled because of how welcoming everyone has been. I was invited to a team meal before I started which was great, it showed that they are keen to get to know everyone on a personal level.
