Matt Ney is the founder of Kakana, a streaming fitness platform for people of all abilities. Kakana (which means bold, determined, daring, and courageous) was created to offer intense and engaging fitness classes both live and on-demand, to individuals with and without disabilities.
Matt is an experienced entrepreneur, having founded four companies over the past decade. These include Fitbound, Nvision, and Fitbound for All. Fitbound for All is a non-profit whose mission is to impact the health and well-being of individuals with and without disabilities and make sure all individuals can be included in the health and wellness conversation. When asked why he started his latest company, Kakana, Matt stated "I started Kakana as I found while researching my previous company that there were not any streaming accessible fitness platforms. I kept asking myself, how come there isn't a Peloton type brand that is accessible? I knew there was a chance to make a major impact and move the needle in the fitness industry toward being more accessible. If we are successful other brands will either want to collaborate with Kakana or be forced to create their own accessible fitness classes. If that happens then we have made a major impact for the positive."
