Description

Ian deQueiroz founded SENDY with action sports icons Travis Rice and Cameron Zink, and it's a platform where outdoor enthusiasts can buy or rent gear for nearly every outdoor activity imaginable. But there is so much more to this process than just posting up a buy/sell forum with gear, and Ian shares a mountain of insights about finding the right partners, technical stack, and maintaining community. We also learn how AI is becoming part of the process, and in the process, we uncover another strong contender for our galaxy brain concept from a few episodes back.
