Our founders
It is fair to say that all founders find it difficult to get up in the morning and are so-called night owls who perform better in the evening or even at night. In countless situations, however, we are required to perform well in the early hours of the day. As a result, our biological clock often does not match our lifestyle. We have therefore set out to synchronize the setting of the circadian rhythm by developing innovative and clinically proven galenic platform technologies. On an individual level, all four of us have different reasons for embarking on this journey and realizing our vision, which is to provide scientifically proven nutraceuticals for the regenerative hallmarks of sleep and the circadian clock.
Sascha Fritsche
CEOSascha (“hustler”) was instantly intrigued by the idea. Mostly, because he is a passionate snowboarder and he likes to be on slopes before anyone else, despite him being a night owl. As this endeavor has proven to be difficult especially with his wife, who likes to sleep in, he imagined a wake-up capsule that could solve this issue for both of them. In addition, Sascha is passionate about living a healthy lifestyle and has been involved in biohacking for many years. He follows scientific evidence to make small, incremental changes to his diet to improve his health and performance. Emerging on a journey to improve sleep health has thus become the most natural thing for him.
Dr. Dario Dornbierer
CSOAs a Pharmacist, and later on as a Phd in psychopharmacology, Dario (“hacker”) focused his efforts on sleep pharmacology, sleep disorders, depression, and mental health. Examining in particular also the dependence of sleep disorders and depression, he realized that many patients had wake-up difficulties. Furthermore, he also realized that many people are severely affected by hangovers that create wake-up difficulties as a side effect of sleep inducing supplements. In an attempt to help his subjects on both fronts (sleep and wake-problems), the idea to create a wake-up capsule emerged. To this day, he passionately addresses the need states in the areas of mental health and sleep.
Dr. Firat Yerlikaya
Chief Technology OfficerFirat (“hacker”) joined the team a bit later. Until end of 2022, Fırat held a professorship for the development of complex galenic formulations and processes using quality-by-design and chemometric models. He liked the challenge of formulation development, as well as the idea to develop and promote technologies that allow innovative products, such as a simple wake-up supplement to improve sleep health.
