Story and Mission
Our Story
The Founder of Levitate, Lasse Madsen, lost his right leg above the knee as a teenager. Active leg prosthetics were brand new technology back then, and almost impossible to get, so he had to make do with a makeshift device that his prosthetist cobbled together from spare parts.
Frustrated by the financial challenges of obtaining an active prosthetic solution, Madsen— an engineer with 10 years of experience - dedicated two years to developing Levitate's first prosthetic solution in collaboration with top engineers from the Technical University of Denmark.
Our Mission
Our mission is to give equal access to an active life.
We empower individuals by creating high-quality, affordable prosthetics—transforming them from mere medical tools, giving everyone the opportunity to stay active, compete, and live on their own terms.
We envision a world where prosthetics are as accessible as sports equipment—available to all, fostering inclusion, and encouraging limitless participation in life and sport. Levitate embraces a sustainable mindset and community engagement, striving to lead a movement where advanced prosthetics empower individuals, unlocking their full potential and inspiring a future where disability is not a limitation.
