Tim Kenning

Tim Kenning’s story is one of resilience, loss, friendship, and quiet determination. Growing up, Tim faced challenges that few could imagine. At a young age, he lost both his father and sister — two of the most important people in his life. Those experiences left deep marks, shaping the way he saw the world and the people in it. For a long time, he struggled to find where he truly belonged. School was difficult, not just because of studies, but because it was hard to connect — to trust, to open up, to make genuine friends. Tim often spent time alone, reflecting, observing, and imagining how life could be different — how people could support each other better, how technology could bring comfort instead of distance. These quiet moments, though painful, sparked the foundation of what would later become Ylsoo — a company built on empathy, human connection, and innovation with purpose. Everything began to change after he switched schools. In this new environment, Tim met someone who would have a lasting impact on his life — a classmate named Noah. Noah wasn’t just another student; he was someone who listened, who cared, and who understood. Their connection grew quickly and effortlessly. For the first time in years, Tim found what he had been missing: trust. The two became inseparable. They studied together, built projects, shared stories, and supported each other through life’s ups and downs. Noah wasn’t just a friend — he became family, a brother in all but blood. Tim often says that without Noah’s friendship and unwavering belief, many of his dreams might have remained only dreams. As Ylsoo began to take shape years later, Tim carried those lessons with him. Every line of code, every product, and every decision at Ylsoo reflects the values that grew from that friendship: honesty, compassion, and resilience. He often reminds his team that innovation means nothing without empathy — and that behind every great idea are people who believed in each other. Today, Tim leads Ylsoo not just as a CEO, but as someone who understands the importance of connection. His story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, a single friendship can change everything — that sometimes, one person believing in you can be enough to start building the world you’ve always wanted to see.
