Allen Penn is a seasoned investor and operator. I have known Allen for approximately twenty years and believe he is a tireless worker with an incredible ethical compass. He is vision-oriented and passionate about bringing health-conscious offerings to others, empowering them to live longer and healthier lives. Allen has shared his goal of opening Nashville’s first public outdoor sauna and first social sauna and cold plunge experience with me for some time now and I am so pleased this has come to reality. Not only is Allen trying to address an unmet need in Nashville however he is also trying to build community and awareness. It is also impressive that he wants to build a brand and business in Nashville, the place that Allen and his family call home. The benefits of sauna and cold plunge are well documented and Allen is looking to embrace the tailwinds of this emerging consumer trend here in Middle Tennessee. Interacting with Allen during his time at Uber, as well as his numerous angel investing activities over the years, has given me the confidence to support him in this business endeavor and bringing this venture to Nashville.
