Travis McDonough may not be widely known in Atlantic Canada but he is very well known by the MLB, NBA, CFL, MLS, NHL and NFL and many of their leading star players. Travis and his partners developed Halifax-based Kinduct, a tech application that uses personal data to help monitor and improve the performance of professional athletes, including the best way to rehab injured players. Prior to Kinduct, he built a string of multidisciplinary health clinics and fitness centres, including one of Europe's largest custom orthotics suppliers, during a decade living in Ireland. When he sold his clinics and returned to Halifax, he used his expertise as a licensed chiropractor to develop the app for athletes. Kinduct was sold in 2020 for more than $70 million reportedly to mCube (now Movella) a Silicon company. He is now in a new tech start-up, based also in Halifax, called Wellnify that is focussed on improving community health using gamification. In this interesting podcast, he also talks about overcoming his learning difficulties growing up. His story will be an inspiration to others looking to grow businesses from Atlantic Canada.
