@leadingentrepreneurs: Olivier Bernhard showed Nike his running shoe. Nike said no. He had built the sole using pieces of garden hose, convinced it could deliver softer landings and a more powerful push-off. In 2010, he launched On with two partners and introduced CloudTec. Runners embraced it. In 2019, Roger Federer invested in the company and became a partner. By 2021, On had gone public on the New York Stock Exchange. Today, On is valued at around $14 billion. Sometimes rejection doesn't mean you're wrong. It means you're early.
