Hardt was founded by the winners of the first SpaceX hyperloop competition: Tim Houter, Mars Geuze, Marinus van der Meijs and Sascha Lamme. They met in 2012 while building electric race cars in Delft. Formula Student Delft became champion in 2014, surpassing 500 other teams from around the world.
After winning, the four engineers decided to move on with their studies and work, that is, until Elon Musk had announced a hyperloop competition. The team got back together to participate and founded what is now known as Delft Hyperloop. Led by the founders of Hardt, Delft Hyperloop received the first overall prize in 2017, becoming the first winners of this international event.
After a successful stream of student competitions, the four engineers founded Hardt to develop hyperloop technology and bring this new mode of transport to the market.
