Fitbit overview
James Park and Eric Friedman founded Fitbit in 2007. Taking inspiration from the tracking sensors in the iPhone, their goal was to put the sensors in a smaller package.
Fitbit was soon born and the founders spent the first two years ramping up production to meet growing demand.
By 2011, Fitbit was a national brand in the United States, available in stores like Walmart and Best Buy.
In 2013, Fitbit launched a fitness tracker with a heart-rate sensor, and has since added new sensors to track temperature, sleep, EDA, and menstrual cycle.
Fitbit went public in June 2015, growing from a company worth $4 billion to $9.7 billion by 2015.
And in 2017, Fitbit acquired Pebble for $23 million, a sign that some of the spark had left the wearables market. By 2017, more than $8 billion was cut off Fitbit's market cap as Apple and Xiaomi overtook the company.
By 2019 the company had 29 million active users, which accounted for about 25% of the company's total fitness tracker sales.
That same year, Alphabet announced its intention to acquire Fitbit for $2.1 billion, and the acquisition was successfully completed in January 2021.
Fitbit has added millions of active users since the launched in 2007, even as it lost revenue and market share.
