STRIVR
As founder and CEO, Derek Belch leads the vision and strategy behind
STRIVR’s mission to elevate performance through immersive
experience. Derek incubated the company with co-founder Jeremy
Bailenson in Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab while pursuing
his master's in virtual reality and serving as a graduate assistant
football coach. Using sports as his proving ground, Derek’s vision
quickly expanded from the athlete to the enterprise. Derek is driven by
a competitive passion for impacting performance, and with STRIVR is
pushing everyone to train like an athlete.
