Hand injuries.
The second problem we are solving first, and one I have lived through twice.
I have broken my hand twice as a lacrosse goalie. It was expensive, and it cost me months of training.
In my experience, there is no glove out there that is currently good enough. There are so many on the market, but they are not protective enough and they are not helping us enough.
Many of these injuries come out of practice. If you take one off the hand, there are several different places that can get hurt, and those are the places we aim to solve. Bruises on the hands and thumbs are common too.

Bruises on the hands and thumbs are common for goalies, on top of the breaks.
A break can end a whole season. A cast, months out of training and the cost of it all add up.
Our goal is to have our first product, aimed at protecting goalies from bruising in practice, finished by then at the latest.
More coming.
Bruising and hand injuries are the two we are starting with. We plan to solve a lot more problems for goalies in the future.
