Bombas Co-Founder Dave Heath Invests in Cure Companies, the Team Behind Padel United, Rosto, The Blackwood Club, and Awaken Hotels

Cure Companies, the Tenafly-based hospitality and lifestyle holding company behind Padel United Sports Club, Rosto, The Blackwood Club, and the forthcoming Awaken Hotels and Residences, has announced a major vote of confidence from one of America's most recognized entrepreneurs.

Dave Heath, co-founder and former CEO of Bombas, has made a strategic investment in Cure Companies and joined its Board of Directors. His investment is part of a $5 million raise that will support Cure's continued expansion across affluent Northern New Jersey.

Heath built Bombas from a Shark Tank pitch into one of America's most successful direct-to-consumer brands, reaching approximately $500 million in annual revenue, more than $3 billion in lifetime sales, and over 200 million items donated to those in need. He currently serves as Executive Chairman of the company and is an active investor and advisor to consumer businesses nationwide.

At Cure, Heath will work closely with founder Jon Krieger to help shape strategic direction and support growth across the entire portfolio. The momentum is building quickly, with The Blackwood Club set to open in September 2026 and Awaken Hotels and Residences currently in development on the former Clinton Inn site in Tenafly.

For those of us in the area, it is a reminder that something genuinely interesting is being built right here.
