Founded in 2007 by Jay Wagener, Rich Rygg, and Brad King, IChange Networks operated an online social network focused on weight loss and wellness. The company's core concept was built on the understanding that while people often know the steps for weight loss, the difficulty lies in consistent execution. IChange aimed to solve this by providing a supportive community structure, differentiating itself from self-directed diet programs.
The platform functioned as an online diet and weight loss community, connecting users to support each other in achieving their health goals. This model targeted individuals seeking a more interactive and motivational approach to wellness. The primary industry for IChange Networks was categorized as Clinics/Outpatient Services, highlighting its focus on health and well-being.
The company's journey included securing investments from Momentum Venture Management. A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Herbalife Nutrition on April 22, 2011, which marked the conclusion of its operations as an independent entity.
