Founding Partners

The ones who built this from the ground up.

Founding partners didn't just join OpenMat — they helped create it. Their belief before there was anything to believe in is written into the DNA of this platform.

PROS
Founding Builder

Proscris LLC

The company that built OpenMat

Proscris LLC is the development house behind OpenMat. Founded by Robert Szopa, Proscris builds AI-powered products, apps, and brands. OpenMat is its flagship product — a personal venture that became a platform. Everything from the Sensei AI to the Beacon partner finder was designed and built in-house.

If you need an AI-powered product, a brand built from the ground up, or an app that actually works — this is the team.

SkippyDynamite

Founding partner #.2 · Todd Mueckeheim

Todd Mueckeheim — @SkippyDynamite — was the second person to join OpenMat. Not just a user: a founding believer. His early support and active participation in the community helped shape what OpenMat would become before it had a single line of marketing behind it.

Founding partners like Todd are the reason the platform exists with the culture it has. The community didn't happen by accident — it was seeded by people who showed up first.

Every founding partner receives permanent status. Their names, IDs, and contributions are written into the platform history and will remain on the partners page and founding members register for as long as OpenMat exists.
Community Partners

Brands that get the culture.

These brands don't just want impressions. They want to be genuinely useful to people who train. That's the only way a brand earns a place in this ecosystem.

Community Partner Lifestyle

Dark Horse Coffee

Premium coffee for people who train hard

Dark Horse Coffee understands what the morning before training actually looks like. Quality coffee for people who take what they put in their body as seriously as they take what they do on the mat. Not a supplement company, not a sponsor who doesn't train — a brand that belongs in the same conversation as the community it supports.

Available through the OpenMat Rewards ecosystem. Train. Earn. Fuel.
