About RunVerified

RunVerified is a Bulgarian-founded fitness platform launching in Q3 2026, where verified runners earn real money through monthly commitments, skill-matched competitions, sponsored challenges, and gear cashback. The company is operated by DEAFOR LTD, a Bulgarian limited liability company headquartered in Sofia, and is initially launching across Bulgaria and Romania before broader EU expansion.

The platform combines AI-calibrated skill ratings (the Running Index), commitment contracts, and a sponsor-funded prize economy to create what the company calls "a complete economic operating system for runners" — turning real GPS-verified running into measurable income.
