Since the beginning of their joint studies at university, Ben, Philipp and Teiko (from left to right) have been close friends and worked together on various projects. When Philipp came up with the idea of social stories one afternoon, Ben and Teiko immediately saw its big potential and decided to join him. What started out as a small spark of an idea, has now evolved into their start-up Cutnut. The entire team behind the application has been developing and revising various prototypes and invested countless hours of hard work, dedication and, most importantly, fun.
