Investors & Founders - Health Club Community Economy
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ: We are looking for our next ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ(๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต) speaker! And I suspect theyโre only one or two connections away. ๐
๐๐ผ Who in your network could explain what people are really buying when they pay up to ยฃ37,000 a year to join a health and wellness club?
We would love to meet them. ๐ฌ
A recent ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ piece describes how London's members' clubs are trading the cigar menu for cold plunges, longevity clinics and 40-biomarker health checks.
Its most interesting finding is that the equipment is not what keeps the members coming: The community is.๐ก
This time, Laura Millan Povedano and I would like to hear from the investment and business side.
We are looking for an investor, operator or founder who has funded, priced or built a health concept that only works if people choose to come back.
Ideally, they would also have a view on whether the ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐บ๐ is truly a health market or just a very well-lit hospitality one.
We remain open to other profiles, of course, if someone fits the question better. ๐๐ผ
As always, the format is light for speakers: a short introduction, followed by a (heated) debate we facilitate around an intimate table in Madrid.๐ท
If someone comes to mind, please share, tag them below or send me a message!
And if you are at the ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐บ in Barcelona today, I would be glad to hear your suggestions in person! Come over and say hi! ๐๐ผ
