Jan - May 2019:
Our founder Franziska took a break from the corporate world and went to Asia to figure out how she can truly make an impact in this world and can help tackle one of the biggest challenges of our times, climate change. Putting her passions of sports, health and sustainability together and her frustration with plastics in sportswear, her idea of Tripulse was born.
May 2019 - May 2020:
The Tripulse entrepreneurship journey begins.
Research & product development: Searching for the right material, interacting with athletes and fitness enthusiasts to create the perfect design, creating the design, prototyping, repeating the fit and design to achieve the perfect fit and function, testing the prototypes.
