Felix Huettenbach is a Founder, Investor, Adventurer and YouTuber. In his 30 years on earth he has achieved excellence in multiple fields. But he is completely honest about the grit, sacrifice and discipline his success has required.

Since childhood, he learned to thrive in, and enjoy environments in which he was far from being the best. Instinct propels him into challenges where he will reap the most knowledge and reward. He demanded of his parents, at age ten, that he spend a year in a Shaolin monastery, purposefully, to mimic his idol Jackie Chan. It was a grueling training of body and mind. His personal equation proved the ultimate benefit, revealing not only his own strength and discipline, but teaching him the true power of a strong community and the value of listening to one’s body, monitoring one’s health and taking action to strengthen it.

Felix pursued his education at various renowned institutions. He attended the Technical University of Munich from 2012 to 2015, graduating with a B.A.Sc. degree in Applied Science and Technology Management. In 2016, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on General/Multidisciplinary Studies. Later, Felix was accepted into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he completed a graduate program in Entrepreneurial Studies from 2017 to 2018.

Felix started his first entrepreneurial venture at 18 when he moved to Munich to study Mechanical Engineering and business administration and built an event production company with which he funded his university degree and also filled his social life.

He is the founder and CEO of Sapient Mind, where he currently leads efforts to innovate at the intersection of technology and mental health. He also continues to lead W8X, a pioneering fitness technology company. Previously, Felix founded Sameday Health, which provided critical COVID-19 testing and healthcare services to millions of Americans before its acquisition in 2023. His ventures reflect a deep commitment to improving lives through technology-driven solutions.

Felix is now focusing his time on achieving his childhood dreams, such as surfing a barrel wave and helping the environment. In August 2024 he achieved one of his longest-held dreams when he earned his Private Pilot’s License in 40 days.
