Led · Series A · Jun 2022
Saysh is a community-centered lifestyle brand co-founded by Olympian Allyson Felix and her brother Wes Felix, based in Los Angeles. Its debut product is the Saysh One lifestyle sneaker. The company operates a branded eCommerce channel and sells via wholesale distribution and community-based retail. Saysh emphasizes products for and by women with an athletic mindset and ethical focus. The company plans to expand its product offering and launch several new activity-specific sneakers. The recent fundraise is intended to scale eCommerce, wholesale distribution and community-based retail footprint. Saysh is positioned as a lifestyle brand designed with women in mind, founded and led by Allyson Felix with her brother Wes serving as CEO. Its first product, the Saysh One sneaker, retails for $150 and is available for preorder in three colors. The company offers a paid membership, the "Saysh Collective," which includes workout videos and occasional interactions with Felix (annual $150 or $10 monthly). Other products are in development, according to the company's website. Saysh was created in part as a response to what Felix describes as an underserved women's footwear market. The brand also ties into Felix's broader public profile following her split with Nike and her work raising awareness about maternal health inequities.
