We’ve been bringing the Protein Quick vision to life by pulling everything together and working with Shark Tank’s Kevin Harrington and the rest of our team for quite some time.

Things are really getting very close to being ready to launch. We’re excited and appreciate those that have joined us here today to hear the story.

We recently held an exclusive Q&A webinar where investors and potential investors alike were able to get their questions addressed by the Protein Quick executive team.

In today’s blog, we are excited to share some of the important topics that were discussed in case you couldn’t make it!

The Problem and the Protein Quick

Solution

“The way that other companies approach making protein taste good was to surround it with things like: fat, sugar, carbs, liquid, calories, which had the effect of making the product taste good, but had the opposite effect of deteriorating the goodness of the protein. 

The way we try to explain it around here is using these products is like putting a piece of broccoli, the protein, into a hot fudge sundae, meaning the fat, the sugar, the carbs.

When we talk about what we have here is a solution, we’re providing up to 20 grams of protein in two ounces of liquid.

There’s no fat, no sugar, no caffeine, no carbohydrates, and no high-fructose corn syrup, it’s just the protein.

Since we’re delivering just the protein, the only source of calories is the protein. We’re talking 20 grams of protein with just 80 calories.”

Booming Investment Opportunity

“The issue with a lot of these other products, is you need to drink the full size to get all the protein

In our case, when we talk about the protein concentration, there is no comparison against what’s out there now. 

The beauty of it again, as we look more into the bars, is it goes back to what you are trying to do when you pick up a protein bar. You want protein. 

Guess what? When you start talking about over 200 calories, you’re starting to get into meal replacement. 

In our case, again, focusing on just the 80 calories, we’re able to deliver a high concentration of protein, but eliminating the calories that you would be consuming had you

picked up one of these other products.”

Distribution Opportunities

“There’s a lot of different ways that we can go. We’ve been able to create a situation here where we could get to just about any type of distribution source.

In addition to retail and online, we are not reliant specifically on direct-to-consumer or retail type distribution. 

Since the product requires no mixing, no refrigeration, this opens the door for things like disaster relief, humanitarian, military, again, nontraditional, direct-to-consumer type markets, and we’re very excited about opportunities in those spaces.”

Protein Quick Will be the 5 Hour

 Energy®️ of the Protein Market

“5 Hour Energy®️ broke the market in energy, and they never looked back.

Bottom line is that our product, two ounces of just straight protein, is the best you can get. We’ve done enough sampling and testing, and people love the product. 

As a healthier alternative, there’s zero sugar, zero caffeine, zero carbs. This is a product that I’m proud to put in my body and to have my grandchildren even put it in their bodies.”

What makes Protein Quick the 5 Hour Energy®️ of the Protein Market

We recently had a chance to sit down with Protein Quick partner Kevin Harrington in an exclusive investor Q&A webinar!

This was an amazing opportunity to dive deep into some of our frequently asked questions with an original shark, and shed some light on the unanswered. 

Learn about everything from Protein Quick’s market opportunity to our equity crowdfunding raise on Netcapital as we highlight some of the important topics that were discussed.

What is Protein Quick? What is the value proposition?

“When you look at most protein sources today, whether it’s a shake, a bar, the protein infused water, what have you, the problem is that protein by itself tastes disgusting. What we like to say around here is you’re essentially putting a piece of broccoli into a hot fudge sundae.

And what we mean by that is you are reducing the good of the protein by surrounding it with all the bad of the fat, sugar and carbs. And so, what we like to do is say take the Protein Quick challenge” 

Who is Gerry David, and What Does He Bring to the Protein Quick Team?

“Gerry David had been the former CEO of Celsius, and Gerry was very instrumental in building it. 

I was on the board of Celsius, and Gerry actually ran the company. The bottom line is that we have different folks across the board that are involved with our distribution that come from relationships that we’ve established ultimately coming out of this beverage side of the business.”

Where do you Imagine Taking Protein Quick?

“Since the product does not require any mixing or refrigeration, this opens up the military, humanitarian, and disaster recovery. 

So many ways to go with this product again, that from a strict business model standpoint, we can adapt the protein content to hit different price points. We can offer flavor exclusives to build up the brick and mortar. 

We can do all kinds of influencer and micro-influencer targeting to gain traction on social media online, and then offline in some of the channels. We feel really good that our competitive advantage here is not only having a huge market, but the ability to tailor our offering to a specific market segment.”

How Big is the Global Protein Supplements Market?

“In all fairness, it’s hard to peg the exact amount because protein is embedded in so many other products. We make reference to the market size of just the protein supplement market, but we think there’s an opportunity to go even above and beyond that, because we don’t consider this to be meal replacement.”

Will you be Adding CBD or Hemp?

“Right now the product includes distilled water and we’ve started playing around with removing the distilled water and replacing it with CBD water. 

With the idea that in two ounces of liquid, you would not only get the benefits of CBD, you would also get your protein. That is one of the products that we have actively in development.”

Can This be Used by Diabetics to Help Maintain Blood Sugar Stability?

“One of the things that we were astounded by is on the medical side, and I’ll use bariatrics as a quick example. Obviously for a bariatric patient to make the decision to essentially have a big chunk of your stomach removed, that’s a major, major decision. 

Obviously, your recovery is very important because without proper recovery, you could end up right back where you started. Just about everybody was using something that is listed on our offering page. 

And again, I’m not trying to denigrate any of these products, whether it’s Muscle Milk, Boost, Ensure. Again, you’re talking to someone who voluntarily made their stomach the size of their fist, and one of the reasons why they had to do that is they were consuming way too much fat, sugar, and carbs. Yet in recovery, in order for them to access protein, they’re being handed products that are loaded with fat, sugar and carbs.”

Will Customers be Able to Custom Order?

“I think one of the fantastic things about crowdsourcing, especially for a product like this, is every potential investor is also a potential customer. 

What we’re hoping for is to build a community of feedback where if we have our investors using the product and we’re getting suggestions like this, that we can then bounce back to our investor/customer community and see if there is a market for a specific combination? 

The sky’s really the limit, and that’s one of the reasons why we’re so enthusiastic about working with Netcapital in the crowdsource community.”

When Will Protein Quick Get to the Market?

“Our approach is we’d rather be right than fast. One of the reasons why we went the crowdsource route is we’re also building our potential customer network.

We really believe that this is not a crowdsource investment where you’ll put some money into it and you’ll never actually touch or feel the product again. 

This is a product, this is an investment that you could use literally every day. And the more you use it, it’s essentially free advertising for your investment. And so, our plan is to go out when we’re ready, when we have the capital stock, we’ll have all the distribution we could possibly handle.”

Why is Now the Perfect Time to Join the Protein Quick Family and Kevin Harrington?

“Not only are you going to get a team full of people who have done it before. Obviously Kevin Harrington speaks for itself. 

As I mentioned early on, I’ve lived through a good idea that became literally a multi-billion dollar company. We have the team that has done this and can do it again. This is a situation where as an early investor, you’re going to be integral to the success of the company in that by using it every day, inevitably, people are going to ask you what is that? 

And in fact, I can tell you from personal experience, there’s nothing better than answering that question, which is, “Oh, here’s the product. I love it. Here’s how it could help you.“

Invest in Protein Quick and help us bring convenience without compromise.

Join our community of early investors on Netcapital for as low as $99! We look forward to a successful campaign ahead with you.

The post Spotlighting the Incredible Protein Quick Team Which Includes Shark Kevin Harrington appeared first on All Protein... No Shake.

We recently had the opportunity to host an exclusive investor Q&A webinar with the Protein Quick family.

Protein Quick has received a resounding amount of interest and frequently asked questions – some about our equity crowdfunding raise on Netcapital, and others about our product and launch.

We are thrilled to share details about this discussion, as it helps us connect with investors and people who are enthusiastic about our brand.

How much of the two ounces is JUST the protein?

“Without getting too deep into the chemistry woods, what I’ll say regarding the formulation is yes, it’s essentially the protein. 

In this case our base formulation is whey protein, flavoring, and again, just enough preservatives and sweeteners to keep it on the shelf.”

How does it taste?

“We believe that one of our biggest competitive advantages is this is a very good tasting product. 

And again, we did not want to get ready for launch and to lead with a product where taste would be a reason for someone not to buy a second bottle”

How large is the market as a whole for supplements like Protein Quick?

“Protein is in just about anything.

What we like to say is, “Try to pick up a box of anything at the grocery and not see the protein content highlighted.” 

So it’s a little, I’m not trying to be evasive, but it is difficult in terms of really defining what segment we are in. There was about $18.91 billion total market size in 2020. Expected to grow 8.4% CAGR. We aim to be a leader in this growing industry”

What is your marketing strategy?

“One of the huge advantages we are going to have with this product is the size of the product, the weight of the product. 

So with people really moving heavily into the direct to consumer model and becoming really comfortable with purchasing products online, instead of shipping 12 ounces, 16 ounces of liquid, like so many companies in the beverage space, which we’re going to be playing in, we’re shipping a two ounce product. 

It really will allow us to put more money towards marketing and other key things versus paying for shipping costs, which are huge.”

Who will be your first customer and will it be the fitness industry?

“Well, in terms of the first customers, with people getting more and more comfortable with purchasing online, it would make sense to start getting the product out there through that mechanism.

Our team has been through the complexities of the retail side where it’s obviously a great distribution source. 

It does take a little time and we firmly believe that we will get the distribution that we need, but to really get the word out, we’re going to hit the influencers, micro influencers, definitely health, fitness.”

What’s your expected price point and revenue model?

“The way that we designed this product was to maximize distribution by giving us the ability to adjust price points and making the formula flexible. 

Where we can deliver say 10, 15 or 20 grams of protein, enables us to operate in that one to say $3 MSRP space. And obviously we can do things online. 

The subscription model, where if you’re going to be getting a delivery of say 30 bottles a month, if you’re going to take one a day or 60 bottles, if it’s twice a day, that’s obviously going to be a different price structure than if you’re going to walk into a retailer and buy a one-off.

But in terms of using the price point to our advantage, again, what retailers are looking for obviously is a high quality product at a price that makes sense.”

Will this work for gastric surgery patients who need extra protein?

“The answer is a resounding yes. 

As I mentioned in our research for this product, one of the things that struck us was the bariatric community. And the fact that on the one hand they were being told post-surgery how important protein was in their recovery. 

Yet they were being handed products that caused them to need the surgery in the first place. It was something that just… It was a disconnect for us.

We’re just happy that we were able to provide a solution that directly will benefit the bariatric community.”

What sets you apart from the competition?

“The real impetus for this product was those ingredient panels; why is the protein getting buried? And in the course of our research, it became very obvious that most of those other products really hit the fork in the road. 

Do we want a great tasting product or do we just want to deliver protein? And it seemed that everyone kind of took that; “Well, we need to have a good tasting product.” So most people probably don’t look at the labels. 

They’re not going to be aware of the other things that are in this, which again, why, you don’t have to take my word for it, when you look at a box of anything, it’s the protein content that’s highlighted. 

And we always say around here, take the protein challenge, flip over that package, take a good, hard look at the ingredients.”

When will Protein Quick hit the shelves?

“Great question. The plan is obviously to finish this cap raise, we want to do things as Gerry alluded to, in a very methodical way. 

Companies that make mistakes early, a lot of it is because they’re rushing things. And one of the benefits of having a management team like ours is we’re not talking about creating a multi-billion dollar operation. 

We’ve done it before and doing things in sequence in time, waiting till we’re ready, not rushing things”

What are your potential exit strategies and return on investment?

“I think as long as we stay on the path that we’re on, a huge market, a great product, a terrific management team, these are all the components that potential acquirers look at when they decide whether or not to get involved. 

Now, are we solely dependent on just waiting to be acquired? Absolutely not. We’re going to keep our head down, we’re going to launch, we’re going to grow market share. 

Is there an opportunity for some sort of a public offering? The answer to that is there’s absolutely nothing that is off the table. 

As long as we can deliver the way we think we can deliver and we have a team full of guys that have a history of delivering, our options are going to be there for us.”

Why is now the perfect time to invest on Netcapital?

“I haven’t mentioned already, on our Netcapital offering page is a video directly from Kevin Harrington where, in his own words, you’ll hear why he is so excited about this opportunity. 

And if you just take a step back from an investment standpoint on that, imagine pitching to a shark who you can just imagine the number of times he has pitched on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. 

The fact that he attached himself to this company pre-revenue, made it his first crowdsource opportunity, you think of the barrier that we had to overcome for that to happen.

If I was a potential investor, that would give me a big vote of confidence. 

If you’re looking for an opportunity that, again, literally anyone on the planet would need, that type of market we’re talking about, I really hope that you take a good look at our offering and come to decide to join us.”
