Our vision: ENJOY LIFE WITH PEACE OF MIND
Life can unfortunately be changed for the worse, indelibly, in a matter of seconds. We have created Floatee with a clear mission: save lives thanks to our innovations, positively changing the destinies of thousands of families.
Our story
The beginning of a friendship
The story starts in engineering school, where the two co-founders, Philippe and Thibaut, became friends.
During an entrepreneurial event uniting different engineering schools, the idea of solving the children's drowning problem thanks to an anti-drowning T-shirt sees the light of day.
Convinced by the idea but still students, they didn’t immediately start, and after they got their degrees, they worked separately, in the aeronautical industry.
Why we decided to take the plunge
On a weekend out, Philippe witnessed a child drowning, just a few metres away.
This tragic event has been the trigger to set up this project, that would be impactful and useful to society.
In 2021, even with all the new products being created each year, there were no more solutions to drowning than there were back then.
Creation of the company
The company is officially created with first fundings to accelerate the development of the anti-drowning T-shirt. The Floatee adventure starts for real!
The anti-drowning T-shirt's birth
2022 was a pivotal year for Floatee. After tens of prototypes and relentless development leading to certification, we finally start to sell the anti-drowning T-shirt!
