Matt Bellman and alan hamlet created Myolyn - a company that creates exercise bikes for people with spinal cord injuries - back in 2013 while students at the UF. “Matt and I were in graduate school together getting our PHD’s in robotics here at UF and matt had been working on electrical stimulation technology. We actually took an entrepreneurship class together and began to explore the market,” says Alan Hamlet, CEO.
