In 2002, Jonathan Toker got tired of taping his electrolyte capsules to his bike’s frame. He came up with a capsule dispenser, developed over four years with a workshop in San Diego and other professional triathletes. The first prototypes were used at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii in 2005, and the first sales took place in 2006.
