In the newest episode of How I Built This, Dave Weiner joins Guy Raz on How I Built This to answer questions from three early-stage founders. Plus, Dave shares his strategy for keeping sales steady and positioning Priority Bicycles for continued growth in uncertain or declining markets. Also Available On: On July 15, 2014, Priority Bicycles launched on Kickstarter—opting for a crowd-funded approach to raise $30,000 to fund the first shipment of what would later be called “The Priority Classic.” Nervously, Dave hit “launch” and waited. And waited. After what seemed like days (but was only minutes), the first backers entered. The goal was hit within a few hours, and over the course of the 30-day campaign, Priority Bicycles raised $565,000 with over 1,500 bicycles backed. Over a decade later, we continue to work hard to create the best, low-maintenance bicycles possible. Thank you for being a part of the journey with us. We would not be here without supporters like you. Dave also appeared on the show in 2023 where he talked about the launch of Priority, the obstacles and successes on our journey to build low maintenance, high quality bicycles. Also Available On:
