<@U0A4KT4D1FA> We're attempting to take our 1 and 3yr old up to Tahoe to ski and see some family up there. Mostly mid-week to avoid the wkd crowds. You?

Hi WGM LA!
I'm co-hosting an event in LA (WeHo) with a portfolio company, , on Weds Jan 28 230pm. The event is a free 50min workout at 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.
- Event sign up and more details
- My LinkedIn post with a bit more context
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).

🙋Name:
📍Location: Danville, CA
💼Current Role: Founder, Rootspring Ventures. General Partner, Redbud Ventures. I invest in highly differentiated early-stage consumer / health & wellness companies. I also have some fractional CFO roles.
🎯Hobbies: Spending time with my family (2 young kids), squash, cooking, rope flow, skiing.
💬Topics You’re Interested in Connecting About: I am generally fascinated by biology. Companies with defensible IP / patents, unique ingredients / supply chain, or network effects. Blurry consumer categories that have potential to become mainstream.
🤝How You Can Help WGM: I have invested in both very large companies (PE / public companies) and very small / pre-launch companies. I understand the products / services and strategies that drive a brand to endure through cycles. I help founders with fundraise storytelling / strategy, unit-level economics, how investors measure and look at retention statistics, etc.
✨How WGM Can Help You: Meeting great people and companies who share my passion for health & wellness topics.
