Nick Karwoski is an entrepreneur and former professional athlete. As a 3x All American Track and Field athlete at Dickinson College in the Steeplechase and 5000m, he helped lead his team to their first ever Triple Crown title (XC, Indoor, Outdoor T+F) before going to work at NBC and receiving $300K from Mark Cuban on ABC’s Shark Tank. After that venture, he decided to give his athletic career another attempt and became the 9th ranked American Triathlete in 2016. After failing to qualify for Rio, Nick came up with the idea of Tagalong, a platform for amateur athletes to work with professional athletes who share their skills and expertise. From there, Nick joined Hydrow in 2018 as an early employee and an on screen athlete, leading on water workouts. After 5+ years building Hydrow, Nick left to continue building Tagalong and other ventures.
