Virginia Bionutrients, LLC has made it into Astia's Entrepreneur Program for high-potential women owned businesses.
United States of America (Press Release) May 4, 2008 --
RICHMOND –A local nutraceuticals consumer products company, Virginia Bionutrients LLC, is quickly becoming the next Richmond business success story. After two years of hard work, the company has developed and sold the world’s first energy stick that you can pour on your tongue, no water needed, called “Diesel Energy Stix.” To support this revolutionary product, Virginia Bionutrients has been picked by Astia to go to prestigious investment presentations after undergoing a rigorous screening process. Companies such as Virginia Bionutrients, LLC in this program who make it past the rigorous screening process have an extremely high successful funding rate that is exponentially higher than the standard for startup companies. Astia is a non-profit organization based in California designed to assist and support high growth and high potential women led businesses.
“We owe this tremendous accomplishment to our hardworking team and terrific, game-changing product,” says Virginia Bionutrients CEO, Dr. Susan Hardwicke. “Success is always a combination of perfect timing, great ideas, and the right team- all three things which we’ve got.” Dr. Hardwicke has a long-standing reputation in the Richmond area as an entrepreneur for her work at EduTest.com, the first online educational testing company. She sold that company after two and a half years with a 9x return on investment and says that she is hungry for her next big success. At the time she received funding for Edutest.com, only 1% of investment funds were allocated to women owned businesses.
With the energy product category exponentially growing in sales and no direct competitors, Richmond’s economy is set to reap the benefit of this amazing product as well. The unique pixie stick energy form makes this a one-of-a-kind product. Drawing much attention to the Richmond community as a breeding ground for hot new products, Diesel Energy Stix will reinforce Richmond’s reputation as a business-friendly environment.
