Summary
Gus Pernetz is a founder and sports-technology entrepreneur with 12+ years in the field, best known for co-founding Stryd to bring power-based training metrics to runners. Combining two decades of hands-on coaching in skiing and snowboarding with NSCA and PSIA-informed methodology, he translates athletic insight into wearable hardware and data-driven coaching tools. At Stryd he helped pioneer a single-number power metric that makes effort consistent across surfaces and conditions, while advising video-analysis startup Sprongo on simplifying coach workflows. Based in Vail, Colorado, Gus blends product vision, athlete-facing UX, and performance science to solve real coaching problems rather than chasing features. Less obvious: his long tenure coaching elite athletes (including work that supported an Olympic comeback) informs Stryd’s emphasis on actionable, coach-friendly analytics.
