This is a Portuguese-language live interview (Cubo anniversary) with César Carvalho, cofounder and CEO of Gympass, hosted by Romero Rodrigues. César describes Gympass's mission to "end sedentarism", its 2012 founding, the early B2C focus and 2013–2014 product evolution, and a decisive pivot to B2B2C after corporate interest (PwC HR) which rapidly scaled the business. Gympass expanded internationally beginning in 2015 across Latin America and Europe, entering the U.S. market in late 2017/early 2018. By the time of this interview the company operates in ~14 countries with ~50,000 partner locations (gyms, studios, apps), has evolved into a broader wellness platform (live/streaming classes, personal trainers, mental health, nutrition, therapy), and leverages AI for recommendations, engagement nudges, and pricing/availability optimization. The transcript covers fundraising origins, leadership lessons, pandemic-era adaptations (live classes, trainer marketplace, wellness app marketplace), team size and global presence, and long-term ambition to substantially increase global activity and wellbeing.
