Meet Thien Trinh
Thien Trinh
Founder & CEO, STRYDA
Thien, a Vietnamese-born refugee, migrated to Australia at the age of two with his family.
Studying podiatric medicine at La Trobe, he ventured into entrepreneurship, founding STRYDA, a company specialising in inserts and orthotics.
Thien's remarkable pitch on Shark Tank resulted in offers from all five sharks, making it one of the show's most thrilling moments.
Committed to ensuring that everyone has access to outstanding foot health and care, Thien is dedicated to creating sustainable, ethical, and highly effective products that enable people to move freely and pain-free.
"Changing people's lives by changing the way they move from the feet up. Health is directly correlated with how we move. If we can stay active, we can stay healthy throughout our long lives. We have one body, we need to take care of it so that it takes care of us as we age gracefully. I want to develop products that allow the end consumer the best possible results with total convenience and ease of use."
