Pour les vivants, il n'y a qu'une certitude : leur mort. Loin des sujets en vogue, Clémentine Piazza choisit de révolutionner le marché des services funéraires. En 2016, la plus jeune CMO du CAC40 abandonne son poste chez Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield pour créer inmemori, un site d'hommage en ligne : 200 messages dédiés par défunt en moyenne et 4 millions d'utilisateurs. En 2022, Clémentine prend la décision de transformer inmemori en société de pompes funèbres pour accompagner les familles dans l'organisation des obsèques. Elle entre alors dans un club très fermé. Un marché où deux entreprises se partagent l'ensemble des services funéraires dans les métropoles françaises. Où les marges dépassent celles pratiquées dans le luxe, aux dépens des familles endeuillées. Sa priorité : changer les standards des obsèques en France. Elle utilise la technologie et une “organisation militaire en back-office” pour soulager ses équipes et améliorer l'expérience client. Un conversation extra-ordinaire, dans laquelle Clémentine brise les tabous et ouvre la parole sur la mort. Elle répond avec sensibilité et bienveillance aux questions que tout le monde se pose : Que dire à une personne en deuil ? La réalité derrière le business des obsèques L'après-vie à l'ère du digital Pourquoi ce n'est pas « glauque » de travailler dans les pompes funèbres La valeur de l'empathie Lever 30 millions d'euros pour une société à mission Les tabous autour de la mort Comment mieux vivre et mieux mourir TIMELINE: 00:00:00 : Rites funéraires : le point commun entre les peuples 00:10:16 : La mission d'inmemori 00:18:23 : La transmission digitale après un décès 00:26:02 : Laisser une trace grâce à l'audio 00:32:21 : 80% de conversion 00:37:21 : La cérémonie et les discours d'hommage 00:45:52 : L'oligopole des pompes funèbres margent plus que le luxe 00:57:20 : Les prix des cercueils et des enterrements 01:07:51 : Le recrutement dans le secteur, l'empathie : une compétence 01:23:39 : Comment sont financées les obsèques ? 01:35:23 : La mort, un tabou ? 01:48:33 : Les enjeux de l'après-vie et la vision d'inmemori 01:55:31 : Private Equity vs Venture Capitalist 02:00:00 : Les plus grands risques d'inmemori 02:03:11 : Pourquoi il n'y a presque pas de femme CEO au CAC40 02:11:13 : Comprendre ses priorités et vivre épanoui 02:25:00 : Choisir sa vie Quelques anciens épisodes de GDIY qui vous plairont : #320 - Michael Horvath #148 - Jean-David Chamboredon #390 - Marie-Amélie Le Fur Avec Clémentine , nous avons parlé de : inmemori Le blog inmemori L'imagerie des dinosaures et de la préhistoire de Emilie Beaumont Alvo Escourbiac l'imprimeur Caroline Vigneaux, humoriste Philippe Gildas, journaliste La Martingale Christophe Fauré, psychiatre Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (ancien patron : Guillaume Poitrinal) Le Temple, club de boxe (créé par Cyril Durand) La Pyramide de Maslow Clémentine vous recommande de lire : L'Alchimiste Vous pouvez contacter Clémentine sur Linkedin.

Usually, apps invite us to stay home and do as little as possible. Meanwhile, Strava's creators ask us we do the exact opposite: Get outdoors as often as we can and make big efforts. Strava started as a simple running app and now offers more than 140 sports activities, welcoming between 1 and 2 million new users every month. How can we explain such success? In this episode, my guest is Michael Horvath, the co-founder and CEO of Strava, to answer that. According to him, he owes his success to 5 principles: Start small; Stop talking and take action; Study the role of V.C; Listen to your customers and not potential investors; Whenever possible, live according to Bruce Lee. From Harvard to Silicon Valley, Michael Horvath's life and career could have the appearance of a classic American success story. That's without counting on his Swedish pragmatic side, without bullshit or business books. Discover in this episode: What a Sweden-infused company implanted in the USA looks like; Why comradery can also be useful to capitalists; What are the (dis)advantages of bootstrapped growth vs. VC growth; How the Strava community can prevent 127 Hours-type dramas; Why it's better to flirt on Strava than Tinder; The KPIs to aim for when developing a freemium product; Why it's always better to treat your employees like stars.

"Buumi" tänaseks saatekülaliseks on Sandra Roosna, tehnoloogiafirma Askly asutaja ja tegevjuht. Sandra kui digimaailma kliendikogemuse eksperdiga tehakse juttu edukatest digimeedia lahendustest, veebipoodidest, heast ja halvast kasutajakogemusest veebis ning klienditagasiside andmise tehnoloogiatest. Saates majandusuudiste osas arutletakse raha versus väärtuste temaatika üle. Nimelt on juba aasta möödas Vene Föderatsiooni alustatud suurest sõjast Ukrainas, kuid ikka veel saab Venemaal osta kõikvõimalike maailma brändide toodangut, näiteks Ameerika konglomeraadi Procter & Gamble Oral-B elektrihambaharju. Räägitakse ka sporditegevuse ja liikumisharrastuse tehnoloogiafirmast ning sotsiaalsest võrgustikust Strava, mille juhi positsioonilt on juba teist korda lahkumas üks asutajatest Michael Horvath. Juhtimisnippide osas antakse nõu, kuidas vastata tööintervjuu ehk kõige olulisemale küsimusele – mis on teie palgasoov? Uudiste ploki lõpetuseks vaadatakse otsa värske Super Bowl'i ajal näidatud reklaamidele, mis maksavad üüratut hinda ja mis mängitakse maha Ameerika Jalgpalli finaali ajal ning vahel. Saatejuhid on Ott Pärna ja Raivo Vare.

Strava is on the hunt for a new CEO, after Michael Horvath revealed that he's stepping down from the role for a second time.

The co-founder and chief executive of Strava explains how storytelling is wrapped up in being able to take risks. He first ventured into the unknown in 1995, wanting to build a community of athletes. He didn't know how that story would end–and it certainly wasn't immediately successful. His company has grown to 100 million athletes in 200 countries–and he tells host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin that along the way he's learned to take chances to “get to create the story.”

When Michael Horvath, the co-founder and CEO of Strava, meets with employees, he doesn't just start saying what he's thinking. Instead, the first thing out of his mouth is: “what's on your mind?” His company, Strava, is an app that serves 100 million athletes, to help motivate their movement, connect them with a community, and improve their safety. And these days, it's a company of more than 400 people–which has both informed, and necessitated, Michael's leadership style–which is a lot about listening, and letting employees grow into their passions and skills.

Michael Horvath is the co-founder of Strava, the app to track and improve peoples fitness that's used by millions of people worldwide. It's his second business success, after he built a thriving online business in the 1990s. But it hasn't all been plain sailing for Michael. Initially quitting his first business, he spent several years as a family man before boredom launched him into starting his second. What he didn't appreciate is that his calling as a family man would come back for him in a way he could never have imagined. Michael took 5 years off from Strava to care for his wife until her tragic death, and then care for his children in the aftermath of that. When he returned to a struggling Strava as CEO in 2020, he had to build it again from the ground up. It was something he was ready equipped for, because it's something he's had to do many times before. Topics: What made you different?

Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath were two friends from college with a good idea and bad timing: in 1995, they set out to create a digital community where athletes could chart their progress and actively compete with one another. But it was just too early: software engineers said it couldn't be built, and investors didn't want to take the risk. So the two founders wound up launching an entirely unrelated business, one that was so perfectly timed that it led to a successful IPO a few years later. Still, Michael and Mark couldn't shake their original idea, and in 2008, they launched a website where cyclists could map and monitor their rides, and compete with riders across the country. The prototype was clunky—Mark jokes that "we wanted to make it as hard to use as possible"—but the timing was perfect, and Strava was born. Today, it's a mobile app used by 100 million athletes in nearly 200 countries around the world.

Just over 10 years ago, I had my first conversation about the idea that would become Strava with serial entrepreneurs Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath. They talked to me about their bold objective of building the world's largest community of athletes. Since then, they've achieved that goal, touching over 90 million athletes and logging over five billion activities across more than 30 sports in virtually every country in the world. While subscriptions have always been a part of Strava, in the past year, they've moved some of their most popular features behind the paywall and an introduced a bunch of new features for paying subscribers. I recently interviewed David Lorsch, Strava’s CRO for the inaugural D2C Summit, a new conference I co-created with Global Media Association FIPP, and want to share that conversation with you here on the podcast. We discussed how Strava determined what should be free and what should be paid as they build a subscription business around a social platform, and how to guide members to make the most of their membership.

Today's guest is Mark Gainey. Mark is the co-founder and Chairman of Strava, the leading social platform for athletes. Mark grew up in Reno, Nevada and was slated to run cross country for Harvard. However, after being sidelined by an injury, he then got recruited to join the crew team where he would meet his Strava co-founder, Michael Horvath. It would be many years before they would start Strava, and Mark's first job after graduating college was at the growth equity firm TA Associates. While at TA, Mark spent nearly 5 years talking with entrepreneurs and learning about their businesses. He wanted to be on the other side of the table. And so, Mark and Michael reconvened in the mid-90's and began brainstorming a business that would eventually become Kana Communications, an email management software company. Kana became wildly successful and Mark left the company after four years. After several years of advisory type work, Mark was itching to start something again and thought back to the idea he had of somehow re-creating the team-like atmosphere he experienced while on the Harvard Crew team. He then reached back out to Michael Horvath and they began creating what would become Strava. In this interview, we discuss Mark's time growing up in Reno, Nevada, his experience on the Harvard Crew team, his time talking with entrepreneurs at TA, Kana Communications, and of course, Strava.

It was December of 2017 and we were at the IRONMAN World Championship NBC Broadcast Preview Party in New York City. I remember your big smile and infectious energy as you made your way around the room talking to various guests. When you told me who you were and your connection to IRONMAN, I was completely floored. Here I am, talking to the guy who finished 3rd at the 1st ever IRONMAN in 1978. From that moment on, our paths crossed at various events and activities due to our involvement with the IRONMAN Foundation. We dug up weeds to help restore sacred grounds on the Big Island, volunteered our time with Paradox Sports in Boulder with their adaptive climbing program, and so many other fun times. I’ll admit, up to that point I only knew you from your accomplishment as being the 3rd badass that ever finished an IRONMAN. It was time to head back to Kona in October of 2018, and you reached out to me to see if I was also headed back to the Big Island. Somehow we connected the dots and realized we were both on the same flights from Denver to Honolulu, and then Kona. The travel angels were doing their magic, I got upgraded to a First Class seat, and there you were sitting in First Class as well.

In Episode 2 of the running industry podcast we talk to global VP of marketing at Strava, Gareth NettletonFounded in 2009 by Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath, Strava has become one of the world's most popular sports tracking apps in the last decade. During an hour packed with insight surrounding the brand, Matt and Gareth examine its growth, its journey through Covid-19 and what the future holds for Strava and its millions of users around the globe.Host: Matt WardProduced by amplifi www.amplifi.mediaIG @amplifimedia Tw @amplifimedia_www.runningindustrypodcast.com IG @runindustry Tw @runindustry All episodes of the running industry podcast are ©amplifiFollow Gareth Nettleton viaStrava: www.strava.com/athletes/garethnettletonIG and Twitter: @garethnettletonFollow strava.comYou can also show your support by donating to the running industry podcast via Patreon www.patreon.com/runningindustrypodcast

In this episode, Mark Gainey, a serial entrepreneur with big-time success B2B and B2C, joins us for another insight-packed conversation. He is the co-founder and chairman of Strava, the athlete’s social network. Today, he talks about entrepreneurship and success, despite major setbacks in his life. The Virtual Athlete’s Locker Room The Swedish word for strive is strava, which is defined as “to make great efforts to achieve or obtain.” This is perfect for a team of individuals who have the ambition and attitude to achieve more. Strava’s mission is to build the most engaged community of athletes in the world. Co-founders and former college colleagues Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath dreamt about this company way back in 1995. They had the concept of creating a virtual locker room and they called it “Kana Sports.” “We had this concept at the back of our minds, how Kana sports morphed into Kana communications, we had a great time building that, no regrets.” - Mark Gainey From B2B to B2C Mark was previously the CEO of Kana Communications which went public late 1999. With a market capital of 11 billion USD and an upcoming new CEO at that time, Mark found himself moving to a different chapter in his life after. “I distanced myself in a pretty meaningful way. I often joked to people, if you give your child up for adoption, don’t stay living in the house.” - Mark Gainey, after IPO of Kana Communications Mark further shares his experiences working in a B2B setting, as a CEO and now B2C setting, as a stockholder.  18 Surgeries in 51 years One of Strava’s irony is they serve the world’s cyclists, but Mark quips that he must have been one of the worst ones on the planet. For one, he had been in a major biking accident which required 11 surgeries. These surgeries are on top of other surgeries from skiing accidents and car accidents. “Nobody is dying anytime soon but it is a test. You just get back to the saddle. You learn and say okay now I can have three more runs, good to play some other day.” - Mark Gainey Mark continues narrating his accident and further says that when he is inactive, he feels like he is a different person. Mark shares that ultimately, this is their goal at Strava: to forget trying to push people to go fast and perform well, just encourage them to engage in activities and sweat at least once in a day. “I think thats the balance. As much as I know that I take the risk everytime to go out there but the idea of not doing that, that is what would kill me.” - Mark Gainey To hear more about B2B to B2C entrepreneurship and more relevant information from Mark, download and listen to the episode.

“If you sweat, you're an athlete. It's as simple as that.”Mark Gainey & Michael HorvathRiding up a local canyon climb back in what must have been late 2009, my Airstream-dwelling, frequent cycling compadre Stu Bone couldn't stop talking about this brand new social network specifically aimed at the 2-wheel community.Always eager to test new tech, I signed up immediately, quickly fell in love and have been evangelizing the platform every since.Meet Strava – the fitness social network designed by athletes for athletes.Evolving beyond it’s cycling roots as a platform for all who sweat, today Strava is widely embraced as the premier workout sharing fitness network — a rapidly expanding ecosystem of Olympic, professional, elite, amateur and beginner athletes that boasts over 1 million new registered new users every month and growing.What distinguishes Strava from other fitness trackers and social media platforms is the positive emotional connection it engenders. Encouraging and community oriented, it’s devoid of the negativity and toxicity that plagues most sharing networks. There’s something uniquely special about being privy to the daily grind of my favorite multi-sport athletes. Their transparency holds me accountable. In turn I help hold my community accountable. And openly sharing our collective fitness experience – the highs and the lows — makes all of us better.So just how did Strava become the only fitness app that matters?To get the story behind the story, today I sit down with Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath — the dynamic duo co-founders who gave birth to Strava and continue to guide it's ongoing growth and evolution.Currently Strava’s interim CFO, Michael Horvath previously served as Chief Executive Officer from 2010-2013 and President from 2014-2017. Holding a Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern University and an A.B. in economics from Harvard (where he was men’s lightweight crew team captain), Michael is a former Stanford economics professor and entrepreneurship professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Prior to Strava, Michael co-founded enterprise software firm Kana Communications and was the CFO and VP of Operations at GlycoFi, a biotech company.Mark Gainey currently serves as the co-founder and chairman of Strava. Also a Harvard graduate, Mark is a former venture capital executive and seasoned entrepreneur who has been building successful companies for nearly 20 years, including Kana, which he co-founded alongside Michael as CEO, president, and chairman. In addition, Mark sits on the board of Alter-G, BoardVantage, Daum, Clari, and Coaching Corps.Michael and Mark initially met on the crew team at Harvard. Friendship ensued, but after graduation they pursued disparate paths. Mark went into venture capital in Palo Alto. Michael became an academic. Reunited when Michael took a professorship at Stanford, they hatched their first startup. Kana Communications was a massive triumph. Little did they know that their follow up act — a passion project born out of a mutual love for fitness — would eclipse their first company's success, reshaping the fitness landscape for millions of athletes across the world.This exchange canvasses everything from technology, business and entrepreneurship to fitness, sports and social media.But at it’s core, it's a conversation about community. How to create it. How to nurture it. And why the integrity of community is paramount.I love Strava. As an early adopter (I was the 14,443 person to sign up for the service), it's my pleasure to share Mark and Michael's story with you today.Disclosure: In the interest of total transparency, I have run ad campaigns for Strava on this podcast in the past.

Our interviews this week - that's right we have two interviews this week.  Interview #1 is with Simone Cordrey-Cotter to talk about Rudy Project's "Podium One" and how they are rewarding the fastest N. American Ironman finishers.  We also have coach Alison Freeman of D3 Multisport joining us today to talk about how to train for and race in hot conditions.  It's too late for our hot June and early July races, but in the northern hemisphere late July and August..even September can deliver some super-hot conditions.  We're going to tell you how to get ready! Thanks to last week's guest, Strava Co-founder Michael Horvath.  If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #133. Interview 1:  Simone Cordrey-Cotter is the marketing and PR manager with Rudy Project North America and she happens to live here locally with Khem and me.  She has been a long-time friend of the show and a former guest.  We get to chat with Simone about a new program they have titled Podium One.  Rudy Project is going to be rewarding the fastest Ironman athletes in N. America with Rudy's fastest race helmet and glasses.  Let's go to that interview right now.  It's a short discussion, so don't go anywhere.  You'll want to stick around for our feature interview to follow.  https://www.rudyprojectna.com/pages/project-podium Transition:  Pretty cool reward if you are a super-fast Ironman age-grouper.  The Boost 1 is a sweet looking helmet and Tralyx sunglasses are sweet as well!  If you don't think you are fast enough to win a free helmet and glasses, well don't fret.  We have a discount code for you that's going to get you 30% of the way to owning a pair.  Use the code MHE 30 at checkout.  Okay, let's get serious about hot races shall we?  We have Alison Freeman of D3 Multisport to talk to us about training for and racing in hot conditions.  Let's go to the feature interview now and we'll be back with you after you are a more informed athlete! Khem and Rich discussion on training and racing in the heat. Without Limits Productions' Boulder Peak race How was Old Stage after doing Pikes Peak on Wednesday and Squaw Pass on Saturday (the day before the Peak)? Jenn Finley's friend and first time Olympic distance racer and podium placer Kim Miller Rip Laces These are a quick lace for getting your running shoes fast in transition.  You know how crazy obsessed I am with fast transitions and Rip laces perform terrifically. I first was introduced to them at the Sansego camp with Craig Alexander and Matt Smith.  Crowie gave all the campers a welcome bag with samples of some of Crowie's favorite products.  They included a sample of Hot Shot and custom Rip Laces, among other things.  Now custom Riplaces are not something just anyone can get.  If you go to the website, you can pick your color, but you cannot order custom riplaces.  It was fun to not only be one of the very few people racing in riplaces, but to be sporting the Sansego custom branded ones at that.  We're going to put a pin in the topic of custom riplaces for a few minutes while I describe what these are. Description - the lace is called a "bungee" and it looks and performs a lot like a hair band.  You thread one folded end of the band lace through one eyelet of the pair and the other folded end through the other side of the eyelet pair.  You can order bands in a variety of sizes or what I have is the variety size pack.  A typical running shoe will have about 7 pairs of eyelets, so you only need 7.   But the variety pack comes with 5 different sizes and 10 bands bungees of each size. You then have these things called "cores", but they look like small rectangular badges with slots to snap the bungee loop ends on each the sides of the core. There are 4 different types of cores (skinnies, olyvia, mini skull/crossbones).  As I mentioned earlier, each the cores and the bungees can be ordered in a variety of colors and the core in one of three forms.  Well I love the Sansego ones so much, I decided to buy another set for another pair of running shoes.  So I picked out the bungee and core colors that would make my shoes pop.   When they arrived, the good folks at Riplaces included a few samples of custom cores with the MHE logo and they look awesome.  They did them in both the skull/crossbones and the skinnies. Khem, they are going to make custom MHE cores for us and guess what?  I'm ordering a set for each you and Bill.  Guess what else?  They are going to create a special link for our listeners to order their own.  Upcoming interviews: I mentioned a few weeks ago that I saw Timothy O'Donnell at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center.  He's clearly working with some of the best resources around.  We are going to be catching up with T.O. to talk about how his season is going, what's going on in his training. Mark Fleming from Ikor Labs is going to join us to talk about the status of CBD oil and triathlon.  A lot of triathletes (pro and age groupers) are using cbd where available to help with recovery.  CBD does not get you high but has several health and recovery properties and benefits.  Craig Sweeney from Ikor Labs was helping SAG on the Sansego rides and I got to chat with him a bit.  We are going to get some of the latest on legislation, WADA and USADA stances on CBD.  303 Our show is also supported by 303 Endurance Network, which includes 303Triathlon and 303 Cycling, which covers the endurance culture, news and events on triathlon and cycling.  Be sure to subscribe to the 303Radio podcast for great interviews.  We have a follow up interview with Kyle Coon, who as you may recall completed the RAAM as a visually impaired relay team member of team Sea to See.  Kim Welk and I caught up with him and we'll have that interview out next week on 303 Radio.

You're active and live in Colorado - you get it! You tell your active lifestyle stories on STRAVA. Listen to STRAVA Co-Founder Michael Horvath share the company vision and story with us in their Denver office. After an extensive search for a new business hub, STRAVA found the culture, ethos and talent of Colorado "shown at the top of the list". Hear what STRAVA is all about and how the idea of a "virtual locker room" was conceived. Plus, your questions answered.

We sit down with Mark Gainey, Chairman and co-founder of Strava, to talk about growing up, building Strava with Michael Horvath and Strava's future. The post Mark Gainey, Strava Co-Founder on Entrepreneurship, Life and Sport appeared first on Prokit.

On today’s episode of Unconventional Genius, I talk with Mark Gainey, Chairman and Co-Founder of Strava about how he helped build a successful social network for athletes. What began in 2008 as a website for cycling enthusiasts has become a community of tens of millions of runners, cyclists, and triathletes around the world. Mark shares the mission of Strava and the challenges that come with leading a global social community in a niche athletic market. Men’s Journal says that Strava is “the only fitness app that matters.” That kind of recognition didn’t come overnight. Now eight years old, Strava is adding one million new users from around the world each month. Mark shares how his athletic background and desire to motivate others through social connection led to the inception of Strava. The secret to Strava’s success During our conversation, Mark Gainey explains how he and Michael Horvath created Strava with the goal of trying to recapture the competition and camaraderie they experienced through college athletics. Mark says what makes Strava special is the ability to connect with other users. The community aspect of being able to compare performance against your peers and even engage in good-natured trash-talking is what users really enjoy. Mark also says that they never set out to develop an app that helped people get fitter or faster or stronger, but rather their goal in creating this social network for athletes was to “keep it fun.” The international appeal of a social network for athletes One of the unexpected accomplishments of Strava is its international appeal. Mark Gainey attributes this broad reach to the fact that they focus on universal sports. I talk with Mark about how that reality affects the way he leads the company and how it impacts user experience. Mark says that “the noise of opportunity” within a global social network for athletes presents a layer of complexity. He shares how they adjusted to fully capitalize on their global reach, not only getting the technology and language right, but also understanding how cultural differences change the dynamic of particular sports. Keys to the growth of Strava Strava started out small. Mark Gainey explains that they originally only targeted cyclists in their go-to-market strategy. This allowed them to understand the potential opportunity and then build a full-scale social network for athletes based on what they learned. Mark says, “We always said It is better to be great than to be big. Big will come with time, let’s focus on just being great.” Starting small allowed the Strava team to focus on the quality of the experience. It also helped them stay true to the mission of motivating people to be active and athletic. Mark shares more about the keys to growth and his aversion to what he calls “vanity metrics” during this conversation. Strava’s commitment to serving users Because users log their workout experiences, Strava has access to an incredible amount of data. This data helps Mark Gainey and his team maximize the experience of those utilizing his social network for athletes. It also helps them develop new features on the platform for the diverse group of people that use Strava. Mark says that because of the data, they know who they serve. Their commitment is to keep current users engaged and motivated to meet their goals, whether it’s training for the Olympics or running their first 5K.

Although running is an individual sport, do you sometimes wish you had the camaraderie of a team?  Michael Horvath, today’s guest, founded Strava, an online community for runners and other athletes.
