Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Tempelaar.
Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My name is Taylor Tempelaar and I’m an entrepreneur who loves basketball, working out, and solving problems that seem impossible. Back in 2019, while studying computer science in college, I launched two companies knowing they have the potential to change lots of people’s lives. My first company, Shopoya, tackles climate change and giving back to communities. My second startup, iRecovr, is reimagining muscle recovery with groundbreaking recovery technologies that are helping pro athletes around the world recover faster, move better, and live healthier lives.
Once COVID started impacting athlete’s ability to receive proper recovery, I knew I could do something to help. So I launched iRecovr to disrupt the health & wellness space.
Our mission is to provide the world with the most innovative technologies to accelerate recovery times, prevent injuries, and enhance the body’s ability to move more efficiently. We are extremely passionate about unlocking the body’s natural ability to achieve peak health and well-being. We are accomplishing this with ground-breaking technologies like percussive therapy, vibration therapy, compression therapy, muscle stimulation, and so much more.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Since our launch, we’ve faced nearly every obstacle imaginable such as the COVID-19 pandemic, chip shortages, financial struggles, working around the iOS 14 update, and combating rising shipping, manufacturing, and material costs.
Despite facing so many difficult challenges that would cause most businesses to shut down for good, I decided early on that NOTHING will stop us from getting our products to market and disrupting the health & wellness space. Especially after realizing early on in iRecovr’s development that despite the work that’s being done to make recovery more accessible, there’s still a LOT of work that has to be done to make this goal a reality.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about iRecovr?
We are the Tesla of Health & Wellness Tech, making recovery fun and accessible to everyone.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My favorite childhood memory was in elementary school where I was pretty good at basketball, so I always had kids a few years older than me play against me, but I would still win. It was so much fun beating everyone in basketball at such a young age. I even played a little football and soccer as well and would always have kids running up to me and asking for my autograph.
