Gesture Exec Summary

In a simple 3 step process, a user can choose roses, an assorted bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine or champagne delivered in about 30 minutes.

Gone are the days of expensive, cumbersome, lengthy gift ordering & poor delivery experiences. Gesture uses advanced Data Science mobile app technology to help speed up the process by displaying the most "thought-about" gestures. Categories such as love you, miss you, happy birthday, congrats, thinking of you are some of the most popular. Once you tell the app what type of gesture you're thinking of, the app will make a recommendation using pre-selected, thoughtful gifts best suited for that gesture. The user can write a personal note to the sender, tells us where to deliver, & taps send. Our technology handles the rest. Gesture dispatches a courier, & your gesture is delivered. Best of all, it's delivered in less than 30 minutes. Using advanced proprietary algorithms, we meet our promised 30 minute delivery window 98% of the time.

Tracie Martyn

High performance, safe, clean, green, all natural, holistic, eco-luxe skincare: instead of back to nature basic cleansing & moisturizing products or against nature (using unsafe, potentially toxic & polluting petrochemicals containing sophisticated skincare), we utilize dermatological science to harness the power of nature for maximum efficacy & visible results with zero negative impact on health or environment.

We have start-up energy & exciting, innovative concepts such as our Gemceutical technology

(using crystals & gems as cosmeceuticals) as well as beauty-tech tool concepts (we have a beauty machine called the Resculptor that lifts, firms & contours the face & body) yet also have proof of concept already both DTC (www.traciemartyn.com is our biggest channel) as well as in stores eg Space NK, Blue Mercury & are seeking an investor who shares our vision to expand distribution & product assortment in a safe but exciting manner.

Another unique point of differentiation: Co-founder is a nutritionist & has pioneered the concept of "nutraceuticals for your skin" The brand has professional credibility through the famous Tracie Martyn spa with celebrity estheticians but is more approachable for the consumer than a dermatologist brand & focused not only on the actives but also the purity & integrity of the rest of the formula.

Also a great social media following on Instagram (verified profile with nearly 60 K followers @traciemartyn ) through major influencers like Kim Kardashian & therefore an interest from micro-influencers to be part of the TM community. The private oasis spa on 5th Avenue providing a unique relaxation & restorative experience in Manhattan, combines nature & science to perform unrivaled & result-oriented treatments. Trademarked The Haute Couture of All Treatments the coveted Red Carpet Facial generates a lot of buzz & press, the spa itself called Heaven on Earth by Julia Roberts creates a lot of the Good Will, Halo & Cachet for the brand & is a great customer acquisition vehicle, authentic experience & living lab. Look forward to a meeting to explore making Tracie Martyn the next BIG success story in the beauty industry.

The Founder

Marius is the co-founder & co-formulator of Tracie Martyn Beauty & Wellness, a brand that pioneered holistic yet effective spa treatments, & an eco-luxe, high-performance, all-natural skincare line. Marius was an early activist of petrochemical-free skincare, refused to compromise safety for efficacy or vice versa & and his creations that can be described as "The Tesla of Skincare" are adored by icons including Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, Rihanna & Kim Kardashian to name a few.. As the son of doctors, Marius was focused like his parents on health, but decided to pursue Wellness & Preventative Medicine, graduating with a degree in nutrition. He has grown the Tracie Martyn brand without capital infusion since 1998, developed the skincare formulas, & invented several skincare patents.
