During this month’s team Unconference lunch, we had the opportunity to hear from Travis Nardin, our head of sales, about his entrepreneurial journey with GripRX—a startup he founded at just 19! Travis shared how his lifelong passion for baseball inspired him to design ergonomic bat handles that make swinging easier. While GripRX eventually pivoted to serve lacrosse and cricket markets, the challenge of finding a sustainable audience offered valuable lessons about innovation and business growth. Key takeaways from his story: ⚾Embrace the Unexpected: Passion can strike in surprising ways 🏗️ Building a Business: Pitching to investors, securing patents, and managing manufacturing abroad. 💡 Lessons Learned: Progress is more important than perfection, and risk-taking must be paired with strategic thinking. Travis’s story is a home run of the resilience and adaptability it takes to build something meaningful.
