Projections for the global obesity therapeutic market by 2030 and $200 billion over the next decade.

With the global therapeutic market for obesity projected to reach $200 billion over the next decade, FWD is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth with its agile platform, distributed supply chain, and experienced team. We’re currently raising $2 million to launch and scale the initial prescribing brands in Jan 2024.

our strategy

An end-to-end treatment platform for generic meds

FWD (Forward) is a healthcare technology company that provides convenient access to revolutionary GLP-1 semaglutides and tirzepatides, the main ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound.

DTC

The FWD platform offers an end-to-end solution for qualified patients: from telehealth appointments with licensed providers to determine medical necessity, to prescription, and order fulfillment through FDA-certified, mail-order compound pharmacy partners.

GLP-1

Medications that are proven safe and effective. Brand names known as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound

Beyond traditional segments

Incumbent DTC & Aesthetic Spas aim to aggressively acquire the highest LTV user segments early in the adoption cycle of GLP-1 drugs, especially users with high discretionary spending on general health and wellness, whether with the participation of an insurance payer or not. These cohorts certainly include coastal, metropolitan, non-minority Millennial and Gen X users - but these are not the only large, valuable segments seeking immediate solutions to the health effects of being overweight or obese.

INTRODUCTION

Systemic health issues are creating drug scarcity

Emergency shortages of the Novo Nordisk medications Ozempic® and Wegovy® as well as the Eli Lilly drugs Mounjaro® and Zepbound® have led the FDA to grant mail-order compounding pharmacies authorization to produce and fill valid prescriptions for the generic alternatives of these branded drugs for the purpose of treating overweight, obese and severely obese patients.

Systemic health issues are creating drug scarcity

GLP receptor agonists (GLP-1) released in the early 2000s to treat diabetes have proven to be highly effective in weight-loss across broad populations. So much so that emergency shortages of the medication for diabetics has led the FDA to grant mail-order compounding pharmacies authorization to produce and fill valid prescriptions for the generic alternatives of these branded drugs for treating weight-loss.

Traditionally, these medications have been both expensive and difficult to come by for non-diabetics as consumption from the existing 37 million and growing US diabetics has strained the production capabilities of branded drug manufacturers.

Despite the current headwinds to Direct to Consumer (DTC) and primarily eCommerce models, firms like Ro have been rewarded by the marketplace for their high-value, low-churn subscription prescription customers. Additionally Ro’s successful lifecycle marketing efforts have generated greater Long Term Value (LTV) from users initially acquired to prescribe sexual health medications through expansion to relevant adjacent verticals like hair loss, testosterone support and, recently, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.

DTC businesses depend on high-value, low-churn customers. These dynamics enable FWD to aggressively acquire users - snowballing as a return and recurring subscriber base scales, and cross-selling is operationalized.

Our business model thrives on high-value, low-churn, enabling FWD to aggressively acquire users— early and recurring— in a macro environment where many consumer brands are struggling to find efficient growth channels.

Seeking to Raise

to accelerate pre-launch product, marketing and brand development as well as fund user acquisition through launch and to self-sufficiency over an 18-month ramp timeline. In addition to a standard equity-raise trigger for conversion of the SAFE, the convertible note offered to founding investors also includes participation rights in general equity distributions, producing investor returns prior to any liquidity event.

Lean Expert Team

Progress is neither today gated by requirement for large headcount nor does payroll expense project to exceed 10% of revenue at any point after the initial scale-up period post-launch in January 2024.

Right Timing

Explosive projected growth in the GLP-1 category kickstarts a profitable flywheel as swift pay-back and profitability from earlier subscribers funds acquisition of subsequent users.

De-risked Supply Chain

FWD also significantly defrays the inventory risk inherent to virtually every other DTC model through its on-demand manufacturing network of compounding pharmacies; this distributed supply chain ensures resilience against disruption and consistent service levels to patients.
