Early proof point
Sekond Skin Society
Ludke Consulting, LLC has committed $25,000 in founding capital. $10,000 has already gone out as a loan to Sekond Skin Society, a fitness app, a community, and a movement built on one belief: fitness should work for every body, not just some bodies.
The loan helped Sekond Skin Society launch its instructor certification program, an ongoing revenue generator for the company.
