Lamar Letts

Food Entrepreneur. Public Speaker.

I am the founder and CEO of Hylux, a nutritiously dense and vitamin-enhanced water that simplifies daily nutrition. I launched Hylux in my freshman dorm room, had a successful Kickstarter campaign, closed a distribution contract with a large beverage distributor and then went on to raise money from private investors; all before getting my college degree. I travel to different colleges to give talks on how-to start a business and write extensively about how to get a business off the ground.

I write and give talks to share my experiences and the lessons that I have learned while growing my beverage business in Boston and NY. I speak on introductory topics, like how to turn an idea into a company or how to write a business plan. As well as specific issues like how to find manufacturers or manage suppliers. All my talks can be customized according to your specifications.
