Last week was a major milestone for us at GLO.For the first time, the founders and key team members joined the Helmsman production team on Zoom to taste the very first versions of the GLO bar coming out of the formal production process. Internally, Helmsman refers to this stage as a “cutting,” where the newly produced bars are cut and sampled by the team.We tasted two versions of the first GLO bar:• The “Core” version — the base bar formulation• The “Enrobed” version — the same bar with a potential coatingThis was the first time any of us experienced these formulations in their near-final form, and the reaction across the call was immediate and unanimous.We were extremely enthusiastic about the taste.We came into the tasting with high expectations based on the work done leading up to this point, but the bars were as good as — or better than — the top sellers currently on the market. Equally important, Gabbi’s very high standards for nutritional integrity were met. Maintaining strong health credentials while delivering exceptional taste has been one of the core design principles behind GLO from the beginning.Based on this milestone, we are increasingly confident that we are on track to deliver something special: a bar that meaningfully raises the bar for the entire category by combining elite taste with elite nutritional standards.The protein and functional bar category is now a $20+ billion global market, yet consumers are still largely forced to choose between “healthy but not great tasting” and “great tasting but not truly healthy.”Our mission with GLO is to eliminate that tradeoff.As we continue refining the formula with Helmsman and preparing for production, we remain very encouraged by the progress and momentum.Combined with the powerful marketing engine we are building around GLO, we believe we are positioning the company to capture meaningful share in this massive category.More updates soon as we continue moving toward production.Thank you for being part of our journey.
