Our Story
Born from German-Engineering
The beginning
Christoph and Michael both share a love of tennis. A sport that would bring them together, first in 2009, and then again in 2015 when Michael coincidently became the assistant coach for Christoph’s college tennis team.
From friends to business partners
After graduating, both accepted jobs in Indianapolis and continued to play tennis together in their free time. As their friendship grew, they would often discuss their past experiences as tennis instructors and the difficulties involved in managing a small instructing business.
Planubo is born
Christoph and Michael set out to create a software that would streamline an instructor’s day-to-day operations, allowing them to focus solely on teaching their clients. One week later, Planubo was born.
