Veteran-Led small business stories

After suffering a back injury while serving in the U.S. Army Reserves, Chris returned home and bought an electric bike to help him resume his active lifestyle. In 2011 he launched an electric bike business that would eventually become Propel Bikes. Today, his company uses Google My Business to boost visibility on Google Search and Maps, and it relies on Google Ads to get in front of potential customers.
