It’s time to introduce the beautiful minds behind the pixels, the storytellers behind the scenes, and the dreamers who dare to imagine a world where anything is possible.

Sooo…who are these people, crazy enough to face life in a start-up?
How about we start at the beginning: with our incredible team of founders; the first ones to discover the Plooshy spark floating somewhere in the galaxy of untold stories, the ones who started the expedition into the Plooshiverse, who harnessed the Plooshy power and materialized it into the project we all know and love today. 
Let’s introduce Viktor, Penelope, and Gwin: 
The Plooshy Pioneers
Hendrik (aka Viktor), CEO:
Inexhaustible pep talker, optimist, and generator of endless ideas: That’s Viktor in a nutshell. Once the man has an idea… good luck trying to resist his enthusiasm. 
Let’s be honest, though: If you haven’t heard of Viktor the Viking, you’ve been living under a rock. 
But, just in case, here’s the lowdown:
After finishing high school, Viktor studied Sports Management in Bochum, Germany. It was during his studies that he discovered his passion for marketing through working as Student Brand Manager for Red Bull where he was responsible for on-campus marketing activities. Especially the more unconventional marketing methods, such as Guerilla Marketing, left a lasting impression on him and shaped his innovative approach to communication. 
Using his marketing and management expertise, Viktor then had the opportunity to help build a football academy for kids in China. This experience, as well as working as an elementary school teacher in Germany for several years, not only sharpened his leadership skills but showed him the universal need for innovation.

In 2017 he then decided to take matters into his own hands. Together with Penelope, Viktor founded his first start-up called „getbaff“. With innovative AR solutions, they were able to work with numerous big brands, such as BMW, Burger King, and many more.

Leading us to 2023, when the two decided to start The Plooshies. 
Today Viktor is the leading marketing, sales, and team motivator here at the Plooshy HQ.
As the only real extrovert on the team, he happily takes over most of the talking, enabling the rest of us to remain comfortably in our little hermit shells. 
Other interesting facts about Viktor: he’s a cat person, has an adorable little kitty named Nala, likes all kinds of sports, especially football (the soccer kind), and is an avid supporter of the BVB. 

Jan (aka Penelope), CTO:

Moving on to Jan, better known as Sidekick Penelope, our resident Tech Wizard, Master of Code, and, occasionally, our voice of reason. 
Just like Viktor, Penelope began his career while still attending college. While getting a degree in Applied Computer Science he worked his way up from student assistant to Lead Developer at a football manager platform in Bochum, honing his skills as a full-stack software developer through various projects for big brands, like FIFA, UEFA, ESPN, and more. 
In 2017, armed with a passion for innovation and a thirst for adventure, Penelope set sails for a thrilling journey into the world of entrepreneurship and together with Viktor founded the start-up „getbaff“ which focused on AR solutions.
Today, Jan stands at the helm of The Plooshies, navigating the turbulent seas of technical challenges with grace and poise. There is basically nothing he can’t do. 
With his adaptability, sense of responsibility, entrepreneurial spirit, and a keen eye for detail, Penelope makes sure that The Plooshies remain on the right track.
