Why OV Moved from NYC to Austin to Zig When Others Zag

The Rise, fall, and resurrection of the coolest athleisure brand of the 20-teens, Outdoor Voices.

No one does things like Ty Haney - She’s the Anna Wintour of Athleisure, creating the Nike-devouring apparel brand Outdoor Voices after art school. Her super power is harnessing community, which brought OV a $100M valuation. In 2020, Ty was pushed out of the very brand she created by the investors whom she trusted - But 5 years later, she’s back leading OV’s resurgence. Plus, she’s running 2 other companies: TYB (a community rewards tech platform) and Joggy (a plant-based energy drink).
