Begeistert von Geschäftsmodellen, wissbegierig und heiß darauf, ein Unternehmen aufzubauen, das Menschen mit einem aktiven Lebensstil unterstützt, sammelte Friedrich Kalthoff 2014 seine ersten Start-Up Erfahrungen in Indonesien. Danach schloss er sich dem Investor, einem Risikokapitalfonds in Zürich, an, um den Markt und die Perspektive der Investoren besser zu verstehen. Seinen Co-Founder lernte er während seines Management-Studiums an der London School of Economics in London kennen. Beide beendeten ihre eher typische Managementkarriere, indem sie für McKinsey und als Business Manager des CEOs in der Finanzdienstleistungsbranche arbeiteten.
