Our Humble Beginnings

The inception of REFIVE took root in the dynamic mind of a young Roman Fritschi, whose potent blend of curiosity and ambition sparked a journey that seamlessly flowed from his bedroom, to classrooms, and into the offices of his initial clients, as he explored projects in design and development with boundless enthusiasm.

Education and Passion Collide

During his educational journey, which included earning a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Roman skillfully blended his growing passion for design and marketing with his academic endeavors, always keeping the flame of what would become REFIVE alive and flickering.

The Birth of REFIVE

Balancing an intricate dance between his role in the international industry – first as a developer, then evolving into a project manager and consultant – and his studies, Roman brought REFIVE into existence, cementing his dreams into a tangible entity.

Crafting a Collective

The growing tapestry of REFIVE was enriched by assembling a dynamic team, which not only expanded our services but also amplified our ability to reach and resonate on a global scale.

Stretching Our Boundaries

Our global impact is painted not just by our diverse team that extends beyond borders, but also by our global clients and partners, each bringing their own unique hue to our ever-expanding picture.

Innovating and Venturing

Through the years, REFIVE’s spirit of innovation gave birth to spinoff companies, each exploring different realms – from legaltech and edutech to digitalization, web3, and consulting – adding vibrant strokes to our multifaceted journey.

Stepping into the Light

For eight years, REFIVE subtly danced in the shadows, expertly weaving its web of influence without a spotlight. Then, we stepped forward, sharing our expertise and services with a larger audience, unfolding our wings in the digital landscape.

Where We Stand and Look Ahead

From regional to international clients, startups to enterprises, our approach to full-service provision matured and flourished. Our ventures, through REFIVE and our network, have spawned new companies and opportunities, while our partnerships have solidified into a strong, interconnected web. Our journey is far from over. With our expanding family of clients, partners, and friends, we continually seek growth, excellence, and the next chapter of innovation, both in our home of Switzerland and in new territories across the globe.
The REFIVE story is a testament to a dream nurtured through innovation, evolution, and a steadfast dedication to delivering excellence. Here, our story intertwines with those of our clients, partners, and friends, and we invite you to join us as we continue to shape this vibrant narrative.
