Former national handball player Martin Strobel advises Betterguards

The technology start-up Betterguards has gained prominent support. Strobel already used the company's bandages himself during his active career.

The Berlin start-up Betterguards is gaining further expertise for its expert advice. Former national handball player Martin Strobel will be advising the technology start-up from now on. Betterguards develops supports for - among others - athletes that function like safety belts for joints. They are designed to prevent ligament injuries.

"The technology definitely has the potential to have a significant positive impact on the protection and performance of many athletes," says Strobel, who has also used straps from the Berlin start-up during his professional career. Strobel himself used to struggle with numerous ankle injuries.

"We have our first partners who are already using our technology," says Betterguards CEO Jocelyn Robiot. In addition to Strobel, the advisory board also includes the scientists Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marc Kraft (TU Berlin, medical technology) and Prof. Dr. Steffen Willwacher (Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, biomechanics) as well as the business expert Tiago da Silva (start-up mentor and former CEO of Bauerfeind AG).
