It sounded crazy-requesting a meeting with a venture
capital company on little more than an idea. But Agel founders
Glen Jensen and Craig Bradley went for it.
Their soon-to-be investor, a group that lends millions
every year to help established companies grow, was not
accustomed to listening to start-up pitches. In fact, they
never had. But there's a first time
for everything. And after 15 minutes of the Gelceutical story,
they wanted in.
Agel was different. This wasn't your everyday "my pills are better than your
pills" gig. Agel was fresh. A rare, innovative Glen Jensen brainchild. A 2 a.m.
epiphany. Gelceuticals. The concept was too unique. Glen and Craig were too experienced.
It was clear that this could be the next big thing.
Agel's
launch changed history. Never before had any direct
sales company conducted its first day of business in
so many countries simultaneously.
"Was it crazy? Absolutely. Were there bumps? Yes," recalls Agel President Craig
Bradley. "But it changed the industry and ensured that the world would know that
Agel was first to market the Gelceuticals concept."
Only a launch this gutsy could bring
the astonishing sales Agel pulled off: multi-millions
in the very first month. That was May 2005, and sales-and new markets-have been
growing ever since.
Agel now operates in over a dozen
countries, spanning four continents. From our executives
to our leaders to our funding, only one word can describe
us: solid. We've teamed up with the best, most committed individuals and organizations around
the world.
Agel is more than a company, more
than a product, more than an opportunity. Agel is a lifestyle.
It's a culture. It's
you.
