If you want to cycle but can’t get outside, you don’t have to resort to the dusty old exercise bike in the corner of your garage anymore. Not since the advent of Zwift, an app for cyclists that makes indoor training fun. Using Zwift, you can explore different virtual worlds and reach your fitness goals with a global community, without leaving the house. Today’s guest is Eric Min, Co-Founder, and CEO of Zwift, and he joins us on the show to talk about the evolution of the platform, how it is shaping the cycling industry, and what the future holds for this exciting hybridization of indoor cycling, gaming, and social networking. Eric starts with the story of how he left his career in fintech with an idea to build a more consumer-facing app, whittling down different ideas before landing on something that served his passion, cycling. We talk about the landscape of indoor cycling apps at the time of Zwift’s inception, and how the startup differentiated itself by focusing on community.
