Two Exits. Three Active Brands. Twenty-Five Years in Supplements.
CJ Montgomery — entrepreneur and investor in dietary supplements and hemp/CBD, Pacific Northwest.
The Full StoryEarly to Every Wave
CJ Montgomery launched Speedwinds Nutrition in 2001, when direct-to-consumer supplement brands barely existed online. He founded CBDPure in 2016, two years before the Farm Bill made CBD a household word. He served as Interim President of Elevated Softgels before its acquisition by a public company. That pattern — identifying a category before the crowd arrives, building an operation around it, and staying disciplined enough to see it through — defines his career.
By the Numbers
Two Successful Exits
CBDPure sold to a private investor in 2022. Elevated Softgels acquired by a public company. Both built from scratch in the Pacific Northwest.
25+ Years in the Industry
Speedwinds Nutrition has been operating since 2001 — one of the earliest DTC supplement companies built on internet marketing.
Multiple Active Brands
Currently owns and operates Speedwinds Nutrition, Populum, and Mirth Provisions — still in the game, not just looking back at it.
