GoFaster Food

Company bio:  Go Faster Food’s vision is to inspire and help people.  Through best-selling food books, endorsed by athletes and nutritionists, the company has built a global community of active people who love its food.  In 2016, Kate Percy's Go Bites®, was launched a delicious and natural energy snack, now stocked in major multiples as well as independents.

Founders: Kate Percy and Mark Bolton-Jones.  The genesis of GoFasterFood was when Kate radically altered her family’s diet to help her husband, Mark, who was struggling in his training for the New York Marathon.   Roll forward a few years (and many marathons), after running a successful Sports Sponsorship Agency, Mark joined Kate in building GoFasterFood.

How we’ve helped: We’ve helped the company complete its initial funding and advised it on its manufacturing and distribution agreements.
