• BE HAWK

    We are a lifestyle brand with the main focus on functional clothing. Our first product line are swimming trunks with waterproof pockets (zipper-based) that allow the user to carry his*her valuables anywhere, also whilst being in water.

     

    We (Alex and Selcuk) founded BE HAWK in April 2019 and the idea for our first product came to us at the end of 2017. But we started the actual implementation in mid-2018. We started by testing different materials with different closures and tested these again and again until we made enough progress to develop our actual product.

    We also dared to worldwide-patent our idea, using the PCT process, which is currently still under review/in a pending status. When we were finally able to clarify all the details with our lawyer in order to register our idea, we took the next steps into entrepreneurship and founded our first company BE HAWK in hope of finding cooperation partners to be able to manufacture our own products. We quickly noticed that the partner/investor search was not as easy as we hoped. We considered other strategies to get our products ready for the market, including crowdfunding, investor search, networking and many other things.

    Right now we are in good spirits and were already able to expand our network and find suitable partners, who are considerable to become partners for a cooperation.
