We aim to get more people walking the world over

Our story

Founded in 2019 by Yves Benchimol and Tanguy de La Villegeorges, WeWard makes walking more rewarding and engaging. Through gamification, education, and financial incentives, WeWard helps people make walking a daily habit that they can get excited about.

By promoting walking—the simplest and most accessible form of movement—they inspire people to stay active and celebrate every step!

Why moving everyday matters

31% of adults and 80% of adolescents don’t meet the recommended daily amount of physical activity.*

Staying active helps prevent and manage diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It also boosts your mood, sharpens the mind, and improves your overall well-being.
