Angie Hicks of Angie's List (now just Angi™) Built a Billion Dollar Personal and Consumer Brand

Behind the Brand with Bryan Elliott

In 1995, Angie Hicks spent all of her time going door-to-door in Columbus, Ohio, trying to sign people up for a new home services referral business.

Today, Angie's List, now rebranded to Angi™, is a household name, referring millions of members to plumbers, painters, and more.

WEAR IT ANY-WEAR

Comfortable enough to wear non-stop thanks to new, durable SuperKnit bands, but flexibly designed to be worn off your wrist in new WHOOP Body apparel.

WAKE UP AT THE OPTIMAL TIME

Set a haptic alarm that gently vibrates to wake you at the optimal time based on your sleep needs and cycles.

MONITOR YOUR HEALTH

A robust sensor suite allows you to monitor your key vital signs: Blood oxygen levels, skin temperature readings, and heart rate metrics.

GET MORE ACCURATE DATA

5 LEDs and 4 photodiodes capture your data more often than most wearables, providing best-in-class accuracy validated in lab studies and with third-party testing.

TRACK METRICS 24/7

Wirelessly charge your WHOOP with a waterproof* battery pack and capture data continuously—even while in the shower or washing dishes.
