Whoop, Inc. is an American wearable technology company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2012 by Will Ahmed, John Capodilupo, and Aurelian Nicolae. The company is privately held and, as of April 2026, was valued at $10.1 billion after raising $575 million in Series G financing. In 2025, Whoop's reported revenue reached $260 million, and it had approximately 800 to 1,200 employees by 2026.
Whoop's primary offering is a subscription-based health tracker system, consisting of a screen-free wearable device and a companion app. The device continuously collects physiological data, including sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and stress levels, to provide users with daily recovery scores and personalized insights. Key features include a Stress Monitor, Whoop Coach (powered by OpenAI), and Advanced Labs for integrating clinical blood test data. Whoop also offers WHOOP Body Smart Apparel, allowing the device to be worn off-wrist, and provides tailored insights for women's health, including cycle tracking and pregnancy guidance. The company's products are widely used by athletes and are known for their focus on optimizing performance and overall health.
In terms of patent litigation, Whoop, Inc. exhibits the posture of an operating company defending its products. The company has been involved in one tracked case as a defendant and zero as a plaintiff. This indicates that Whoop is typically a target of patent assertion rather than an entity actively asserting its own patent portfolio.
Whoop, Inc. is currently a defendant in the case Omni Medsci, Inc. v. Whoop, Inc., filed on February 5, 2025, in the Delaware District Court. The company's growth has been notable, attracting investments from SoftBank and prominent athletes. In January 2026, Whoop became the official health and fitness wearable partner of the Ferrari Formula One team.
