MEET THE FOUNDER

Why I'm building GoalShare.

I'm Foster Watt, founder of GoalShare and a student at the University of Georgia. GoalShare grew from two things that shaped how I think about progress: competitive hockey and social media.

THE STORY

Most goals don't come with a team.

I grew up playing hockey in the Southeast. I worked hard, but for much of that time I was pursuing my goals without much of a social environment built around them. I also barely used social media, even when having a stronger presence could have helped with exposure and recruitment.

At 16, I moved to New Jersey to play junior hockey. Suddenly, I was surrounded by teammates, coaches, competition, and people who knew exactly what I was working toward. That experience showed me how powerful accountability can be when the people around you are invested in your progress.

At the same time, I saw just how powerful social media was at capturing people's attention — often without helping them move toward anything meaningful.

Hockey showed me how powerful a social environment can be when it's built around progress. Social media showed me how powerful a social environment can be at capturing our attention. GoalShare came from asking what happens if you combine the two.

Those two experiences eventually led me to GoalShare. Most goals don't come with a team. I'm building GoalShare to help change that.
