Sweetro: Fantasy League for Real-Life Physical Activities

A virtual race platform and fantasy league where users connect their fitness devices (Garmin, Sunnto, etc.), join challenges, set goals, and potentially win cash rewards from a prize pot by completing physical activities. Greg expresses concerns about user friction due to entry fees, the 'gambling' aspect, and the complexity for a startup managing multiple API integrations and user funds.
