Jonathon Perrelli’s Post

LifeFuels Update After 7 great years, an enormous amount of innovation, tremendous support from many who believed and invested in us, and a team that gave it their absolute all, we have made the very tough decision to bring LifeFuels to a close. To those of you who believed in us, purchased our products, worked at the company, advised and invested in us, and supported us at home, we are forever grateful. The world of startups is an onerous one in the best of times. The challenges that many small businesses have faced with the pandemic over the past year has been crippling and LifeFuels is no exception. While the outcome for our customers, our team and our investors is so very disappointing, we can’t help but also be proud of bringing the world's first smart nutrition bottle, pod, and app trifecta to life. We owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who believed in our dream and supported us along the way. We are exploring alternative scenarios for our IP (20 Patents strong) and platform to hopefully continue. However, the bottles we love and pods that nourished so many will no longer be available. The dream of LifeFuels is ending but the spirit of entrepreneurship lives on.
