At Zenoti’s annual beauty and wellness summit, Well Infused came out on top due to its data-driven, personalized approach to healthcare in a spa setting.
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Zenoti announced Well Infused as the winner of its inaugural Deep End contest, a Shark Tank-style competition for budding entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness space, held at Innergize 2024 in Las Vegas. Drs. Staci Blume and Lacey Book of Well Infused impressed the judges with their groundbreaking concept of a holistic clinic in a spa setting and walked away with $50,000 to develop their business beyond the two clinics they operate in Noblesville, Indiana and Naples, Florida.
“We are proud to champion emerging entrepreneurs through initiatives like Deep End, which underscores our dedication to driving innovation and growth in the beauty and wellness industry.” – Sudheer Koneru, CEO, Zenoti
Deep End participants pitched their concepts to an expert panel consisting of entrepreneur and television personality Bethenny Frankel, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa CEO John Teza, Massage Heights co-founder and CEO Shane Evans, and Paul Hackwell, partner at TPG Capital. In addition to winning a $50,000 award, Drs. Blume and Book will receive mentorship from Teza and Evans.
