This month Banale Toothbrush, the 2 in 1 with built-in toothpaste, is turning 6 years old!
Banale Toothbrush was our very first product, our starting point where everything started. We were convinced that it would make us super-rich...but it didn’t quite turn out that way :)
However, we did start a company and set out on a journey of learning, making mistakes, enjoying some success, and gaining a lot of life experience. Six years ago we started this adventure, and four years ago we took this project time to Kickstarter for the first time.
To us, Toothbrush is like our first love, we were only novices back then, maybe a bit awkward, but certainly passionate. We put all our energy into it, even though, in retrospect, we thought "well, maybe we could do something different..."
Our Toothbrush project was born in the bathrooms at MIP, the training school where our founders met while working on their MBA.
They noticed that lots of managers would brush their teeth after their lunch break in the office with bad, low-quality toothbrushes. Suddenly they had an idea: to knock that ordinary everyday experience up a notch.
In September of 2017, we decided to launch the project on Kickstarter. Since then, we've successfully funded many more campaigns on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and we're constantly working on new ideas.
Does anyone here remember the Polo Banale Toothbrush Kickstarter campaign? Any older backers out there?
