“I’ve always had an obsession with jumping. So what spurred the idea for this was my interest in entrepreneurship and my love of fitness and specifically jumping.” -Dave Hunt, USNA '04
Dave Hunt graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2004 and is the founder of Crossrope, a company that sells an innovative jump rope system that helps people stay fit. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about how Crossrope helped a business executive lose over thirty pounds.
In this episode, Dave and I discuss:
- How downtime from an injury sparked his idea for Crossrope
- How his team built a 20,000-member online fitness community in a year and a half
- His journey from idea to making his first sale
- How he connected with a manufacturer to mass-produce his product
Enjoy!
