Tech firm picks up six-figure investment

Peerfit, a Tampa-based health technology firm that provides employers with a digital platform to offer health and fitness benefits for their workers, has received a $400,000 investment from Florida Funders.

The capital will help Peerfit, which enables companies to offer credits to employees to enroll in a variety of fitness classes, to further expand nationally from its Florida base. The model is aimed at encouraging wellness among employees and trimming company health care insurance costs and lost income.

Specifically, the Florida Funders' money will shorten times to deliver products to explore new opportunities.
