“I’m building a modern coconut water brand focused on clean ingredients, premium design and accessible pricing. The idea is to position coconut water less like a tropical juice and more like an everyday hydration product for fitness, wellness and lifestyle. I’m currently validating the market, sourcing options and packaging concepts, with the goal of launching lean and scaling into retail and hospitality.”
“I’m looking for the right co-founder to complement me on the operational and commercial side. Ideally someone strong in sourcing, FMCG, retail, logistics, finance or business development. I’m strongest in concept, branding, positioning and creative direction, and I’d like to build this with someone who enjoys execution, structure and turning ideas into a scalable business.”
“I want to build a modern consumer brand in the health and hydration space, starting with premium coconut water. Clean ingredients, strong branding, accessible pricing and a product people actually want to buy regularly. The goal is to start lean, validate quickly and eventually scale through fitness, hospitality, retail and international distribution, with the option to develop branded vending machines in gyms, wellness spaces, offices and other high-traffic locations later on.”
