Patent application
Florian Pfab has the idea for Clevergums and is looking for partners to implement it; he develops first prototypes with manuka and propolis, then decides to make vegan version
Prof. Florian Pfab habilitated at the Technical University of Munich at the age of 32 and became an associate professor at the age of 37. Under a research grant from the German Research Foundation, Florian worked at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA. He earned several scientific awards and high-ranking publications in leading national and international scientific journals for cutting-edge research findings. He has also lectured at prestigious congresses and symposia such as the Harvard Medical School Grand Rounds, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lectures, and European and World Congresses.
Described by a German daily newspaper as a luminary in sports medicine, Florian runs a practice in central Munich in addition to his work as head of the medical department and senior team physician for a top German soccer league team. In February 2021, together with Frank and Torsten, he founded Clevergum GmbH with the goal of combining all the benefits of natural, evidence-based and sustainable substances for direct or indirect performance optimization and improved recovery with a chewing gum.
Torsten is a full-blooded entrepreneur. He spent his early professional years working for various major banks in Germany and France, most recently as sales in the derivatives area. But he always knew that he wanted to create something new, something of his own.
In 1998, he and a business partner founded a company that established itself as a leading provider of investment information on the German market.
In 2015, the two sold the group of companies, which in the meantime had grown to five companies, today part of the Deutsche Börse Group.
In the years that followed, Torsten was very active in both participating and founding various companies in a wide range of fields. Today he still acts as a business angel and juror for "BayStartup", a large Bavarian investment network.
Since the founding of Clevergum, which he started together with Florian and Frank on a greenfield site, i.e. from scratch, he has been responsible for everything day-to-day in the management of Clevergum and will in the future focus on the strategy and expansion of B2C and B2B sales.
Frank has been dedicated to numbers since the beginning of his professional career (and most likely already in his school days).
He is particularly passionate about stock exchange trading. After his banking apprenticeship and further training at Deutsche Bank, he worked in derivatives for 15 years. He was responsible for global derivatives trading for Citibank and Deutsche Bank.
After further positions at Sal. Oppenheim and Macquarie, he turned his back on the banks - and bet on himself.
Since becoming self-employed, he has stopped reducing risk positions in the trading books and started to find new potentials: The Covidgum! At Clevergum responsible for production, purchasing and legal issues. And of course still with his clear view on numbers and profitability.
