Royi Metser is the founder and CEO of Avelo, the company behind the world's first smart running shoe.

Running changed Royi’s life in 2021 after a blood test was the kick in the butt he needed to make a change. Three days later he signed up for his first marathon.

It was through his personal mission to improve at running that he decided to build a product to measure force and form and use the data to help runners improve performance and reduce risk of injury.

Listen to hear about:

  • ​How signing up for a marathon motivated Royi to start running again
  • ​How struggles with achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis made Royi curious about creating a product that measures data at the feet
  • ​Creating a smart running shoe and the challenges of building footwear, software, and hardware all together
  • ​Behind the scenes of Royi’s start-up, Avelo, the world’s first smart running shoe
