Get your stuff working on Concept IIs as well as your own ergometers. Just do it. Seriously. If your subscription business depends on selling your customers your own ergometer first, you'll have a very steep barrier between you and success.
Recent models of the C2 monitor have connectivity features.
There's an opportunity for remote-community features for indoor rowing like what Zwift offers for biking. And you won't have to deal with shipping heavy stuff to every customer before they subscribe.

Our high-intensity games and strength content, which differentiates us, requires this and the reason why we opted to build our own rower instead of just an app or working with any existing machines.
- freerobby 6y agoI can see why the ECR piece is a handy input for the games, but having tried every connected rowing app under the sun, I think what is missing in this space is compelling content and compelling software on the same platform. As a fellow tech guy/non-rower who just wants to stay in shape, it's hard for me to see how success here hinges on ECR rather than the software and content. But I also understand you've already made a large bet on this, and I hope it pays off for you.
