With gyms just starting to reopen, many exercise enthusiasts are looking for ways to maintain their training regime at home. Liteboxer offers one solution for boxers of any level. Their device includes targets that light up, signaling where the user should punch next. The system can also create unique patterns in time with the customer’s favorite song.

Liteboxer was one startup featured in the most recent episode of Go for Launch. Go for Launch is Innovation Leader’s series of live startup demos. During each episode, three startups pitch their solutions in 30 minutes. Then, our guest hosts ask questions to the entrepreneurs. After the webcast concludes, participants have the opportunity to connect with founders in virtual breakout rooms to ask their questions.

Spaces and Rugged3D also pitched their products. Spaces is a startup that helps teams create meaningful and collaborative virtual experiences over Zoom by creating virtual meeting spaces. Rugged 3D offers a portable and durable 3D printing solution that is engineered to operate in harsh environments.

This episode also features insights from Sandy Kreis Lacey, Assistant Vice President of Advanced Technologies at John Hancock. Russell Follansbee, Director of Technology Banking at Silicon Valley Bank, co-hosts this episode.

Presenting Startups

Rugged 3D (4:17)— 3-D printing has unlimited potential, but 3-D printers cannot operate in the field, so the innovations in 3-D printing are lost on defense, oil and gas, mining, aerospace, etc. Rugged 3D offers a portable and durable 3D printing solution that is engineered to operate in harsh environments. The device is waterproof, durable, and can withstand great pressure (including being smashed with a hammer).
Spaces (10:39)— Spaces helps teams, programs, and events create meaningful and collaborative virtual experiences over Zoom by creating virtual meeting rooms and offices on top of the video platform. Spaces provides visibility into activities and presence of others, reduces the friction associated with remote collaboration, and provides a virtual space to organize the conversations, projects, and sessions.
Liteboxer (17:11)— Liteboxer is a first-of-its-kind connected fitness platform for the home that provides an engaging and unbeatable full-body boxing workout by combining advanced technology, music, and expert training in one platform. Targets on Liteboxers’ interface will light up in different patterns, guiding users through their workout.
