About
Felix Hüttenbach is a German entrepreneur, investor, adventurer and YouTuber, born 31 August 1993 and raised in Düsseldorf.
At ten, inspired by Jackie Chan, he spent a year training Kung Fu at a Shaolin monastery in China — an experience he credits with shaping his discipline, resilience and approach to health that later carried into his work in health, technology and entrepreneurship. He studied mechanical engineering and business administration at the Technical University of Munich, later at UC Berkeley, and completed a graduate entrepreneurship program at MIT.
