Growth Intern, Running & Sports Tech

About STRIV

STRIV is a Boston-based sports technology startup building foot-level movement intelligence. Our sensor-powered insoles measure how runners interact with the ground—tracking impact, loading patterns, asymmetry, and fatigue to help them better understand their movement. We've raised from top-tier investors and recently launched our next-generation product.
