Our Story
Our Story
Kylin and Bhavy met in an Electronic Engineering lecture hall at University College London, where they discovered an instant connection. Both had once aspired to professional sports careers but were sidelined by serious injuries, sparking a shared drive to innovate solutions for athletes.
Fueled by their passion for building, the 20-year-old duo started Hippos with just $500 in a college dorm—against their parents’ wishes. They spent a year transforming from sketches on paper to a groundbreaking product, often sleeping on lab floors and sofas along the way. Today, Hippos is driven by a bold vision: to eliminate physical injuries through advanced exoskeletons, pioneering a new era of human movement.
