Full-time dedication to the KoumKoum

The KoumKoum works, is powerful, is fast. Now we reach the last stretch before mass production. And this requires a full-time founder!

Regular readers of our news know that the KoumKoum has been in very active development for the past year. New electronics, a new frame, straps, user testing, sourcing components, software engineering. It never stops.

But did you know that all of this was done in the evening and during the weekends, because Denis (name-reveal!), the founder, was working full-time as a post-doctoral researcher in AI in Brussels? Some curious people already figured out, because this is on our press page.

Well, the KoumKoum now has a full-time founder, who can dedicate his entire attention to polishing the design of the KoumKoum, fine-tuning its software for a smoother ride, sourcing quality and cost-efficient components in Europe, and taking care of regulations, certifications and safety.
