Andy Hoang is the Founder and CEO of Aviron, a Y Combinator alumni company creating gamified fitness equipment. He leverages his MBA from the Schulich School of Business and his experience as COO at a prior company to innovate in the connected fitness space. He also holds a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification.

Fueled by his own boredom with traditional exercise and a passion for video games, Andys mission is to make working out an engaging and entertaining experience. He was inspired to start Aviron after noticing gym-goers looking unmotivated on their phones, seeking to combine the benefits of gaming with high-intensity training.

Andy bootstrapped Aviron in its early years, investing his own money by remortgaging his condo and selling his car to get the company off the ground.
