How did the idea of Happylife come?
As a life long learner that have studied two master degrees in Denmark and the US, and serial entrepreneur i built a habit to learn when i commute, when i fly and when i take a moment to excersise. I have found it hard to remember all the key points if i choose Audible to listen to a book, and realized you can take an 8 hour book into micro learnings and obtain the same outcome, while remembering the important parts. Also, I’ve realised that there’re millions of similar minds with the same problem as mine. So what was the best solution? To create such an app for each of us. Thats how the Happylife app appeared. Later on, we grow into a multiproduct startup.
