Running on a treadmill can be really boring. Wouldn’t it be great to run along a beach, or a track in the woods? That’s exactly what the five guys from Spoteee are doing. The Czech startup shoots videos for runners so instead of staring at a white wall, you can watch a video from any place around the world and get the feeling that you are actually running there. Read more about the team below!

No more staring at a white wall while running on the treadmilll at the gym. With Spoteee you can run in London, Roma or Paris without having to leave the gym.
Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…

Dave is great graphic design artist.
Sandro has awesome programming skills.
Petr brings the important business background.
Jan and Michal shoot our priceless videotracks.
Run wherever you want without leaving the gym Photo credit: SpoteeeWe received our initial capital through…
Our initial capital we had from savings or other businesses, and some sources have been raised also from our family members.
The real pain about starting a business in the Czech Republic is…
The fact that at the beginning you have to go to many offices and get a lot of stamps. All that takes a very long time and slows down the development of your business.
The person that inspires us is…
Many Czech and international entrepreneurs. We enjoy reading books such as Rework.
The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is…
Wunderlist because it helps us to sort ideas, tasks and remind us of important things. Facebook, too, because it is a great communication channel – people write us many messages with plenty of ideas.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Each other 🙂 Also, our laptops and hard drives with our videos. There are other things, but they are replaceable.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
“Why don’t you just take a GoPro camera and run with it?” People say this all the time and we are getting tired of explaining 20 times a day that it would be impossible to create stable videos this way.
The one thing that will make us quit is…
Of course we hope this moment will not happen but we’d quit if people no longer use our service.
Our inside joke is…
Yeah, we are shooting with a normal camera…
You might not believe it, but we…
… really do care about our customers’ needs. Everyone says so, but we mean it – we talk to our customers, ask about their user experience and encourage them to give us all kinds of feedback such as tips for new routes.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
People will use Spoteee outside the Czech Republic.
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
