## TrackForm (current project)

TrackForm (https://trackform.ch) is an AI technique coach for track & field, made
in Switzerland. Tagline: "Train the technique, not just the clock." An athlete
uploads one short clip; TrackForm scores the form against five expert criteria per
discipline, highlights the exact frames that matter, and turns it into a training
plan, across ten disciplines. The free tier includes three video analyses per
month, with paid Athlete Pro and Coach/Club tiers planned. Cédric Blum is the founder.

It exists because good coaching shouldn't depend on having an expert standing next
to you. It gives every athlete an honest second eye and helps coaches give each of
their athletes the same attention, wherever they train. It sits at the intersection
of Cédric's two worlds, sport and software, and reflects how he wants to build:
using AI as leverage to solve a real problem he understands deeply from a decade on
the track.

## Goal & motivation

Cédric is driven to get the absolute most out of one life and to go all-in on work
worth his full commitment. He would rather own a hard problem end-to-end than coast
on an easy one. Independence, to him, is something earned, the right to choose what
he works on, through skill, results, and trust.

The sector he builds in does not matter to him; total commitment to a worthwhile
cause does. He is a generalist, which is why AI excites him, it lets one person
create across many fields. He is building the long way: compounding discipline,
learning fast, and shipping real things like TrackForm.

To Cédric, success is not a number on a screen, it is mastery, health, the people
around him, and being at peace with the work. The discipline he built over a decade
in sport is the discipline he brings to finance and to everything he builds.
