DD Walk is a free fitness app that uses gamification to motivate users to walk and be more active. They reward users by offering digital money that can be converted into cash, donations to charities, or lottery tickets.
Walkers can also earn extra cashbacks by shopping at partners’ stores. The goal is to encourage people to be more active and explore new places around them while contributing to the local economy and reducing their carbon footprint.
DD Walk was founded by Pierre from France who has lived in Taiwan for five years. After working as a General Manager at another Taiwanese startup for two years, he decided to realize his dream and start his own business.
Taiwan is like most countries in that people are getting heavier and unhealthier. Walking is simple, accessible, and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. It also generates zero CO2 emissions, which can help people in Taiwan lower their average carbon footprint.
