Dittit was a San Francisco-based company founded in 2011 by Stas Nikitin and Steve Salazar. The firm operated as a personal achievement community, developing an online application designed to help users accomplish their personal goals. Its platform functioned by allowing individuals to state a goal and then leveraging motivational tactics such as financial rewards, penalties for failure, and social peer pressure to encourage completion.
The service enabled users to submit proof of their achievements from mobile devices, which were then certified by their peers within the community. This model aimed to create a supportive and accountable environment for personal development. The company's primary industry was classified as Application Software with a focus on Mobile and TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecom) verticals.
Dittit's funding journey included an accelerator/incubator round in August 2011, raising approximately $21.4K. This was followed by a seed round on July 1, 2012, which brought in $15K, with Startupbootcamp being the lead investor. According to PitchBook, the company was acquired in a merger and acquisition deal on March 1, 2012. Tracxn, however, lists the company as deadpooled.
