Foodspring founders get out
They had already sold their start-up to Mars a year and a half ago. Now a former Red Bull manager is taking over the reins.
The founders of the fitness food start-up Foodspring are leaving their company. Philipp Schremp and Tobias Schüle are leaving the Berlin-based company and Gerrit Meier will be the new boss. This was reported by the Handelsblatt.
Schremp and Schüle sold their start-up a year and a half ago to the US food company Mars, which is primarily known for its chocolate bar brands Mars, Snickers, Bounty and others. At the time of the takeover, the founders declared that nothing would change. This is no longer the case.
Foodspring was founded in 2013. The company sells protein shakes, nutritional supplements and snacks aimed at athletes. The new boss Meier previously headed the media division of the Red Bull drinks group. He left the Austrian company after Dietrich Mateschitz's company gave up its media ambitions.
