Who's behind Toro

Built by two athletes with years of racing behind them

We're both computer scientists, and we both train and race. We sat down and collaborated with several coaches to understand their pains, limitations and needs. We saw the same gap: training platforms that make a simple job hard, and that ignore what AI can do today.

We don't think AI will replace coaching. We think it can supercharge it. AI augments the people who already know the field, it doesn't stand in for them.

The coach stays in charge. Toro does the heavy lifting.
