THE FINAL ENCORE: ONE LAST OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF AKT

 

10 years ago, AKT was nothing more than an idea shared between two performers backstage in London's West End.

We weren't entrepreneurs. We weren't beauty founders. We were simply trying to solve a problem we'd lived with every single day. Eight shows a week under hot stage lights had taught us that deodorants rarely lived up to their promises, so we decided to create one ourselves.

That decision changed everything.

What followed were three years of development, hundreds of formulations, countless evenings spent testing in our kitchen and an extraordinary community of performers willing to put every version through its paces. Eventually, that idea became AKT.

Today, with more than 2 Million products sold later, it's still difficult to believe just how far this community has taken us.

AKT has grown from a product designed backstage into an internationally recognised body care brand. We've launched with retailers including Sephora in the United States and Space NK here in the UK, welcomed more than 80,000 subscribers, earned over 40,000 five-star reviews and now, somewhere in the world, an AKT product is sold every 30 seconds.

The most rewarding part isn't the numbers, though.

It's knowing that none of this happened because we outspent anyone on advertising or followed the latest beauty trend. It happened because people used our incredible AKT products, loved it, and told someone else.

You built this as much as we did.

A FINAL ENCORE FOR INVESTMENT

Over the past few years, over 1400 people have invested in AKT through Republic, becoming shareholders alongside us and helping accelerate our journey. Since then we've continued to grow, expanded internationally, launched into world-class retail partners and welcomed one of Europe's leading consumer investors, Felix Capital, to the business.

As we look towards the next chapter, we're opening one final Republic ‘convertible note’ round. An allocation carved out purely for our customers, subscribers and previous investors alongside £2M extra investment from Felix Capital. 

We genuinely see this as the final encore.

The next ‘act’ of AKT will be about scaling globally, expanding our product universe and continuing to build what we believe can become one of the world's defining modern body care brands. Opportunities like this naturally become rarer as companies mature, which is why we wanted to ensure our own community had one last opportunity to join us before that curtain rises.

Whether you've been with us since the kitchen days or discovered us only recently, we wanted you to hear about it first.

And whether you decide to invest or simply continue choosing AKT every morning, thank you. Every order, every review and every recommendation has helped bring us to this point. If you do decide to join us as an investor, we'd be honoured to welcome you not just as a customer, but as a fellow owner, for the next AKT!
