About Arkipel
Industry: Software Development
Company size: 11-50 employees
We build, acquire, and grow performance sports apps. Relive turns your ride, run or hike into a video worth sharing. JOIN coaches cyclists, REN does the same for runners, and Kunu helps golfers understand their swing and fix it faster. Together: 25 million users. Same playbook, different sports. Central team, shared infrastructure, ten years of lessons that compound. We know the coaching models, retention loops and growth experiments that actually work. It's why we could build REN, a complete running app, in five months. And we're not done. More sports, more apps, built and bought. We're a team of ~35 across 18 nationalities, with no layers of management between an idea and the millions it reaches.
