Today, Relive employs a team of seven people and continues to refine its mobile app, available for download from Google Play or the Apple App Store. “After a week, a thousand people were using our app,” he said. After fleshing out the idea during a barbecue in Tenerife, Daniels and El-Dardiry began writing code, and the app started to take shape later the same day.īack home in the Netherlands, they created what van Kruijssen called “a good working prototype” within two months and shared it with a few friends.

We saw a great opportunity,” van Kruijssen said.

“It didn’t fully capture the experience we had-the nice views, discovering the terrain, and the fun we had. While van Kruijssen, Daniels, and El-Dardiry were using the Strava app to record performance metrics on their rides in Tenerife, the three friends realized something was missing: the visual aspect of their adventures. Not pictured are Thomas Meijers and Jochem Lugtenburg. The Relive team includes (from left to right) Ralf Nieuwenhuizen, Yousef El-Dardiry, Joris van Kruijssen, Ronald Steen, and Lex Daniels.
