Co-founders Charlie Melvoin and Sheera Goren created Zygo to close the gap between swimming and audio streaming, a feature that all other areas of fitness had already integrated. In 2015, they initially started SwimTeam, a pool-based boutique fitness class. The class required a way to stream audio underwater and, as no other products existed, they created a headset. Following this success, Melvoin and Goren spent the next two years improving the headset for customers and Zygo was born. By investing in Zygo, we are proud to join their team in making a splash in the fitness world.
