history
Freeletics was founded in March 2013 by Mehmet Yilmaz, Joshua Cornelius and Andrej Matijczak at the Center for Digital Technology and Management . It started as a minimum viable product with a YouTube video, a newsletter and three PDFs. Initially, training was mainly carried out in the Maßmannpark in Munich . In August 2018, Fitlab, Causeway Media Partners, Jazz Venture Partners, Courtside Ventures, Elysian Park Ventures and Ward.Ventures took over Freeletics from the founders for a high double-digit million amount. An official training ground was opened at Monbijoupark in Berlin in October 2017. A Series A funding of $ 45 million was closed in December 2018.
