This week, we’re excited to bring you the first episode of Startup Spotlight – a recurring series where we speak with early-stage founders working on fitness and wellness startups.
We usually focus on established companies, operators, and inventors — and we’ll continue bringing you those conversations most weeks.
But, from time to time, we’re highlight companies at the beginning of their journey.
Today I’m joined by Cam Porter — the Founder and CEO of Core.
Core is making it easy for fitness instructors to create a branded digital experience across iOS, Android, and the web. The company’s content and client management tools help instructors launch and scale their business.
In this episode, we discuss the current state of digital fitness, the disconnect between fitness and health, empowering instructors to build an online business, and the challenges Core is working through to get a product to market.
A quick note on today’s episode, Anthony and I working with Cam and the Core team in an advisory role. We’re excited to play a small part in helping fitness instructors grow their businesses.
