Hi WGMers!

I'm co-hosting an event in LA (WeHo) with a portfolio company, Sum Hydration, on Weds Jan 28 230pm. The event is a free 50min workout at BFT WeHo followed by a demo of the Sum fountain and founder Q&A.

If you know of any gym / fitness studio owners or GMs, curious angels, or pre-seed funds in LA who might be interested, I'd love to see if they are available to come on Jan 28 for the free workout & demo.

Any folks come to mind? Feel free to DM me.

One of the many reasons I like this company is that they are eliminating all single-use bottle/can waste (no plastic bottle, no aluminum can, etc) by not shipping a beverage that is 99% water across the country. That also allows them to offer lower prices vs single-use bottles/cans as the distribution costs are much lower and people now bring reusable water bottles to gym / fitness studios.

Happy to share a deck on Sum if curious too (~70% repeat rates).
