Our path to innovation
In 2017, our founder Filip came up with a vision to transform the sports textile industry using graphene nanoparticles. He saw significant scope for creating a greener and more efficient alternative to the common synthetic fibers that dominate the market today.
After two years of intensive development and testing, we presented the first functional prototype of a sports T-shirt. To verify market interest, we decided to place our project on a Czech crowdfunding platform. The campaign , which we launched in 2019, was successful and confirmed to us that our vision resonates with customers.
The pandemic period forced us to slow down, but at the same time gave us the opportunity to reconsider our strategy. We decided to take a bold step - to move all development and production to the Czech Republic. We developed a completely new, patented technology for applying graphene to natural textile materials. With this innovation, we launched a second crowdfunding campaign in 2023, which helped us complete the development and start production.
Today, we manufacture entirely in the Czech Republic with a team of experienced seamstresses who take care of the quality of each piece. Local production is not just a strategic decision for us, but a commitment to the renewal of Czech textile craftsmanship. We want to show that top-notch sportswear can be created right here.
Mission
To bring sustainable and innovative solutions that create a sports world free of microplastics.
Timeline of our history
2017 - Company establishment
Founding a company and first steps in the development of graphene material. Creating a collection of products from commonly available materials to understand the entire production process.
2019 - First crowdfunding campaign
First market validation of a T-shirt that combined recycled plastic and graphene. We received 455,400 CZK in pre-orders from 373 backers.
2020 - Development of new technology
With the advent of COVID, we decided to stop production in Asia and develop the new material completely in the Czech Republic. Therefore, we established a strategic partnership with the Czech company GrapheneUP® and began the development of a new material technology.
2023 - Rebranding and second campaign
New brand name, logo, design finalization and first working prototypes. Second crowdfunding campaign with pre-orders worth 534,330 CZK from 184 backers. Filing of patent applications in the EU and the USA.
