I sold Scivation to NutraBolt/Cellucor
This past friday we closed a deal to sell Scivation to Nutrabolt. There are various articles out there that lay out the details. You can plow through some of those to see interviews with myself and others as to why we did the transaction. I asked the mods if I could post this, because it's important me. I want to thank everyone that showed support for Scivation over the past 13 years. The simple response as to why for me, comes down to medical. My mom was diagnosed 5 years ago with Cancer. She passed in September. I've spent considerable resources doing medical research since her diagnosis. We've done rodent research, now it's time to step up to human research. That is VERY expensive. There was no way I could afford to do this without bankrupting scivation. This transaction allows me to fund these trials, with the first one being Angelman Syndrome this year. The goal is our first human cancer trial in 2018 (I had hoped 17, but not sure it will happen).
I had no plans of selling. This was a random conversation at a trade show that escalated, quickly. I'll be working with them for considerable time to ensure things go smoothly. Expect a lot of new flavors across the entire brand through the end of the year :).
Once again, thank all you. This would have never happened if it wasn't for the support we got off these boards going all the way back to 2004.
