KoHi Labs was started by two college bicycle racing buddies, Matthew Carlson & Peter Thomsen.

After many trips around the sun, the duo reconnected randomly at a cyclocross race. A few months later, on a bike ride down the California coast, the concept of KoHi Labs was born.

In 2014, Juan Hernandez jumped on board with some clever hardware ideas.

Peter brought in his nephew and former barista, Sam, in 2022.
