Who here has heard of Fruit Street?

Fruit Street Health is a scam. It is not a novel idea with much innovation where you deliver teleheath over an app through voice/video calls. The app itself is poorly designed with pixelated images. The Play store shows only 100+ downloads for something that the CEO touts as having millions of users. Over ten years there hasn't been the growth expected. Also, with all the millions of dollars raised, this is the outcome of the product? I also got asked to be a part of the advisory board and was given the option to invest. But this is a clear scam to raise funds. Another blind member was also asked. Similar experience.

Was just asked to be on their “advisory board” 🤣🤣

Advisory board is just their fancy way of saying “give us your 401k money”

Double thanks for this. Thanks for asking the question because I searched Google for it...now I know it's a scam AND I found Blind. It's a good day....

Same pinch. Glad I searched on blind and landed up here 😀

I too was asked recently by someone on LinkedIn to join their “advisory board”. Got the application and it asked if I was willing to invest to have some “skin in the game”. What a joke

I received the same LinkedIn message from "Timothy Paul Robes" and filled out their form. Interesting to see its some scam before I waste anymore of my time. Now they have my data and I feel like I'll get endless spam though lol Anything else I should be concerned about?

I just got the same message. Glad I looked here - thanks for the insights!

Damn, I’m so glad I looked this up before I went forward w an “interview.” Gave them my data so I’m expecting some spam as well. May just ghost them from here on out haha
