Spok’d

Spok’d is an online cycling coach powered by smart algorithms

Background

Spok’d is an online cycling coach powered by smart algorithms. Founded by ex-professional cyclist Rich Lang and supported by Chris Newton, Olympic medallist and British Cycling coach, Spok’d is the only cycling app that creates a truly personalised training plan. Every week your plan adapts to you based on your training and personal data.

  • Sector: Cycling coaching app
  • Founder: Richard Lang

Rich came to us with a working version of his app that he’d launched, but was frustrated with the lack of customer traction and desire to reboot the design and features to relaunch the product. We implemented the Design Sprint methodology and working with current users, tested various redesigns and new features.

Subsequently, Spok’d is working with industry-leading tech including Training Peaks, ProBikeKit, Garmin and Strava, and has a strategic partnership with Welsh Cycling.  As we publish this book, Spok’d is about to undergo a significant refinancing from an angel investor to enable further product and commercial development.
