We Create Better Lightweight
At 26 years old, as one of the co-founders, I started a software company and raised $10 million.
However, at 31, the company was struggling and I was forced to leave the company I had created.
As a young person, this was a failure, but it was also an opportunity to change my lifestyle, so I decided to try hiking.
Hiking brought me inner peace and freedom, and helped me shed meaningless life burdens. During my hikes, I realized that there weren't many opportunities for people to climb snow-capped mountains, and that hiking clothes didn't need to be as heavy as extreme weather gear.
So, I started a new company, focusing on lightweight designs for hiking clothes.
The name Light Turtle was inspired by my pet turtle.
Turtle have survived on Earth for 200 million years, proving their self-protection capabilities in the great outdoors.
However, the heavy turtle shell is like the traditional heavy outdoor clothing, so I named the brand Light Turtle, hoping to provide adequate protection for people outdoors while keeping it lightweight.
