Michael Horvath, co-founder and CEO of Strava, discusses building Strava, a leading digital fitness platform and sports community, and his journey as an entrepreneur.

On rapid growth during the pandemic:  We roll into 2020 with about 50 million registered users globally… At that period of March/April of 2020, we were adding about 3 million new registered users a month.
