Our Vision

• We are changing lives and communities. Sixty percent of the U.S. population suffers from at least one recurring health condition, and pharmaceutical drugs often fail people with their side effects, risk of dependency, and cursory and temporary impacts.
• We are meeting a significant and unsatisfied demand in healthcare and consumer goods. Our company addresses a growing interest in plant-based products as an alternative to pharmaceuticals, combining effective products with an exceptional customer experience.
• We are focused on creating an extraordinary brand, not just extraordinary products. We are building an iconic direct-to-consumer brand that will amplify the reach and value of our products.
• We will solve important and difficult problems - for our customers and for society. Our first product was inspired by the devastating impact of opioid abuse, the significant side effects of other prescription and OTC drugs, and the confusion and inconsistency of existing natural remedies.
• We will replicate our product model to build a large and growing catalog of plant-based solutions. We launch our first product in the fall of 2019 and then plan to launch 2-3 new products per year after that, addressing a wide variety of health concerns.

Why We’re Different

• We create novel and complementary formulas by carefully selecting the optimal mix of key botanicals, while our competitors deliver either one herb in one pill or unfocused “proprietary blends.”
• We provide significant therapeutic doses of each active plant compound to deliver whole-health solutions, time-tested and validated by credible scientific studies, while our competitors simply don’t.
• We seek out and recommend holistic strategies to healing, while our competitors push a “silver bullet.”

Our Team

• We have a remarkable leadership team with extensive experience in building successful consumer-facing brands, including digitally-native concepts. We have a hands-on culture that embraces challenges and thrives on open communication, relying on teamwork and transparency to overcome every obstacle in our way.
• Our founders and initial investors are an extraordinary and accomplished group of entrepreneurs and business leaders. They include the former founder and CEO of a category-leading natural beverage brand that was acquired by a Fortune 500 company; one of the world’s foremost experts on the formulation and use of botanical remedies and herbal supplements; and a successful investor-operator with more than two decades of experience in the media and health and wellness industries.
• We also are working with an extraordinary group of advisors and partners, including a top brand strategy agency that has launched several billion-dollar direct-to-consumer brands.

Our Opportunity

• The nutraceuticals market is expected to reach over $100 Billion by 2024, and the herbal dietary supplements category is expected to see 10% compound annual growth for the next decade or more.
• Our first product addresses recurring pain, which is estimated to affect up to 100 million people in the United States alone. Our future products will target other health issues that affect millions of people and for which consumers are seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals.
• While interest in plant-based medicines and herbal supplements is growing at a rapid pace, the marketplace is fragmented and confusing for the average consumer, and brand loyalty is extremely low.
• Our goal is simple: to build a billion-dollar brand that delivers beneficial and therapeutic solutions to millions of people with effective and differentiated botanical products and an extraordinary customer experience.
