The eHealth startup Loewi aims to help athletes optimize their performance in training and competitions. Using a blood test and a detailed medical history, the company determines the athletes' potential for improvement and then provides personalized nutritional recommendations. The results of the analysis, as well as the athletes' progress, are presented on a web platform.

Loewi: Four perspectives – one common vision
The four founders behind Loewi met at the Technical University of Munich and the UnternehmerTUM. Loewi is essentially the result of four very different perspectives and skills combined with a shared vision – to make personalized health promotion available to everyone.
Johnnes Scherr, one of Germany's leading sports and preventive medicine specialists, ensures the scientific validity of Loewi's product after 12 years of experience as an Olympic sports doctor. Philipp Merk was a founding employee at Lilium Aviation and, as a data scientist, implements scientific expertise in algorithms. Calvin Devereux, a third-generation IT professional, was raised trilingually: German, English, and Python. And Adrian Kapsalis, after various positions in marketing and sales at Ferrari, brings the necessary "customer obsession" to establish Loewi sustainably in the market.
