About Kuula
Kuula is a seamless platform that enables yoga & fitness teachers to stream and monetize their online classes.
Our mission: empower wellness professionals with all the tools they need so they can focus on sharing their passion with their students, and make the world a little bit more healthier and happier everyday!
We launched in April 2020, when the covid crisis led to countries lockdowns and yoga & fitness teachers could not go to the gyms to give their classes anymore. Our CEO Mariel is one of them – she has experienced the struggles of giving offline classes while trying to find out the best tools to take her practice and students online.
We are right now finalizing our first fundraising with the best European VCs. We have a tremendously exciting roadmap ahead and are looking for an ambitious, motivated and metrics-driven Product Manager to join the team!
