Somehow, we were naturally drawn to each other. We connected on a personal level and, deep down, probably knew that our strengths complemented each other perfectly. Today, after 10 years, we can better describe why our partnership works. Back then, it was just intuition. Maybe we were a bit naive – we jumped into business with just a few tens of thousands of crowns saved from side jobs. But we had plenty of passion and determination to make up for it. Football taught us one thing: if you want to achieve something, you have to work hard. So, working on FOUL after our regular jobs, in the evenings, often late at night, and without pay wasn't a problem for us.
After two years, we could afford to pay for fuel. After three years, we contributed to buying a car. And only after five years did FOUL become our full-time job. We reinvested everything back into the company. FOUL didn’t happen overnight – and sometimes, it was tough.
Thank you to everyone who follows our journey and supports us. ❤️
