Exhibiting at booth #746 - part of the 'social impact pavilion' at the Creative Industries Expo from March 10th - 13th, they hope to connect with brands that will champion the community, thought leaders, influencers, and potential investors.
Recently launched in November 2023 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand, the platform marks a first of its kind globally - as there is no other platform currently available for the HIV community. Positive+1 is on a mission to unite and empower the global HIV population.
Having already secured $775,000 of a $1,400,00.00 investment round. Positive+1 hopes to secure additional investment to increase user acquisition and market-presence globally.
Christian Mercer-Hall, Founder & CEO highlights the inspiration driving the brand's mission: "9 years ago my friend shared with me that they were now living with HIV and struggling with how to tell friends & family, whilst also finding it difficult to connect with new people. This drove me to seek out what was available to help them overcome these, amongst many other issues but much to my dismay, I didn't find much online. Whilst the orgs that support this community are doing a great job, they are continually facing budget cuts yet expected to deliver more care and services. It's not sustainable and we are going to change that by donating a portion of our profits back into these grass roots organisations."
Positive+1 is attending SXSW for brand awareness and promotion to help those within the HIV community to connect. Please stop by P+1's booth at the Creative Industries Expo or speak to Christian Mercer-Hall directly.
