The CREW

We believe that the true path forward is forged by breakthroughs of body and mind. We seek experiences that allow us to persevere towards a new understanding of individual potential. If you feel more, you can be more.

WEDŪ is a mindset rooted in the belief that every challenge ignites a spark of growth and change. We choose courage over comfort zone, adventure over apathy, hardcore over ho-hum.

WEDŪ is a community of people who believe that onward is the only option in the face of adversity, and that one person’s idea of fun is another’s definition of crazy.

Above all, WEDŪ is a product of our people. When you grow, we grow. It belongs to every person who makes a conscious effort to continually question their boundaries, live a bit larger and learn from that process.

Lance Armstrong

As a cancer survivor, Lance founded Livestrong and would see $500 million raised to serve over 3 million people during his tenure with the foundation.  Additionally, through the sale of 80 million wristbands and.the strength and solidarity they came to represent, the immeasurable contribution made can still be seen today.  Lance also spearheaded the effort to create the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) through a $3 billion bond initiative, and served two terms on the President-appointed President's Cancer Panel. His contributions to cancer research through Livestrong, it’s $50M donation to the Dell Medical School (University of Texas, Austin) and CPRIT have had a significant impact in the fight against cancer.

Combining a talent for spotting incredible founders with his lifelong passion for investing, Lance founded NEXT VENTŪRES, a venture capital firm focused on maximizing growth opportunities in the health, wellness, healthcare and–as we like to say–Whole Person Health. Prior to founding NEXT VENTŪRES, he was an active angel investor in companies such as Uber, DocuSign, Active.com, Honey Stinger, Athletic Brewing, Waterloo Water, Wheels Up and Rev Gum.

Through his creation of the media platform WEDŪ, Lance is host to THEMOVE and The Forward.  The audience between these two chart-topping podcasts has grown exponentially to north of 10M impressions annually; and is on the rise.
