Make the world a

stronger place.

Perch exists to make the world a stronger place through what we build and how we build it.

Founded in 2016 at MIT, Perch emerged from visionary Co-Founders Jacob Rothman and Jordan Lucier. Frustrated by clunky, invasive performance monitors in weight rooms, they embarked on a mission. The outcome? Perch – a sleek, intuitive solution revolutionizing weight room performance monitoring.
