Founder Story
An amazing journey.
The greatest journey
It was the greatest journey of a young life. The resulting knowledge gained lasted even longer. I had just turned 18 when I got on my CILO bike to take the most demanding but also the most beautiful trip of my life. My story about a restless young man and his father is also about dreams, passion, a thirst for risk and action - and the value of a surprisingly helpful streak of stubbornness. Read how this adventure not only changed the course of my life, but also contributed to the foundation of Helvetica and significantly influenced our company values and the way we work.
