We're It.","story":"The Alcohol Aisle Has a Problem.\"My great-grandmother drank Stoli. My grandparents drank it. When I was old enough, I drank it too.Not because it kept getting better. Because nothing replaced it.For decades, \"innovation\" in alcohol meant a new label, a new flavor name, a new marketing campaign. Strawberry. Vanilla. Coconut. Same thinking. Same ingredients. Same nutrition non-transparency that every other consumer category was forced to abandon years ago.Candy got clean. Chips got clean. Ice cream got clean. Protein bars got clean.Alcohol didn't.Meanwhile, I was rebuilding my own life, losing over 150 pounds and rethinking everything I put into my body. I didn't want to quit drinking. I just wanted the alcohol aisle to catch up to the person I was becoming.It hadn't. So we built what didn't exist.Chay Spirits isn't a better version of what's already out there. It's what the alcohol aisle should have become a decade ago.\" - Chase Glick, Co-founder.The Market OpportunityThe U.S. spirits market generates over $100 billion in annual retail sales. Vodka is the #1 category by volume.But the real opportunity isn't the overall market, it's the shift happening inside it.Consumers are demanding cleaner labels, better ingredients, and honest nutrition information in everything they buy. Alcohol is the last category to catch up.The better-for-you alcohol segment is growing at nearly 3x the rate of the overall spirits market. RTD cocktails, the fastest-growing format in beverage alcohol, are projected to reach $35 billion globally by 2030.The consumer is already there. They want zero sugar. They want clean ingredients. They want bold flavor without the compromise.The brands that exist today weren't built for this consumer.Chay Spirits was.We are one of the only spirits brands in the United States purpose-built around this shift with the product, the distribution infrastructure, and the brand identity to capture it at scale.THE PRODUCT \u0026amp; DIFFERENTIATIONWhy Chay Spirits Wins: The Moat Nobody Else HasEvery \"better-for-you\" spirits brand has the same unsolved problem.Zero sugar means artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners mean Stevia, sucralose, or erythritol. And every single one of those leaves a bitter, chemical aftertaste that reminds your mouth exactly what's missing.The category has been stuck here for years.We solved it.Chay Spirits is among the first spirits brands in the United States to successfully apply allulose — an FDA-approved, plant-derived, non-glycemic sweetener — to flavored vodka and RTD cocktails at commercial scale.Allulose occurs naturally in figs and raisins. Unlike every other zero-sugar alternative on the market, it behaves like real sugar: same mouthfeel, same sweetness profile, zero glycemic impact, and no aftertaste. The food industry has been using it for years in protein bars, snacks, and premium foods.The alcohol industry is just starting to use it. Chay Spirits has been using it for 3 years.Our formulas are developed in-house and built around this ingredient breakthrough. The result is a product that delivers the full flavor profile of a traditional cocktail with none of the sugar — and none of the compromise that defines every competitor in this space.This isn't marketing. It's smart formulation.Zero sugar and sweetened with Allulose: ✓ Chay Spirits | ✗ Everyone elseNo bitter aftertaste: ✓ Chay Spirits | ✗ Everyone elseThat's not a claim. That's a column in a table.What We've Built Since 2023We launched in the summer of 2023. Here's where we are today.🏪 450+ retail stores, restaurants, bars, and venues🗺️ 44 states reached via direct-to-consumer shipping🔗 7 regional and national distributor partnerships💰 $1,000,000+ raised from private investors before this round🛒 Chain deals secured with Jewel-Osco (Albertsons), Total Wine \u0026amp; More, Binny's, Woodman's Markets, Goody Goody, Hy-Vee, Heinen's, and more🏨 On-premise accounts at The Ritz-Carlton, Rivers Casino, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Midtown Athletic Club, and Summer House Santa MonicaWe didn't buy this traction with a massive marketing budget.We earned it with a product that converts, a brand that consumers come back to, and a distribution strategy built to scale.This raise accelerates what's already working.THE REVENUE CONTEXT If you've looked at our financials, you've seen a year-over-year revenue comparison that shows a dip between 2023 and 2024.Here's what that number represents.In 2024, we made a deliberate strategic decision: walk away from low-margin wholesale volume that wasn't building the brand we were building, and reset our revenue base around direct-to-consumer and premium retail relationships we could actually scale.The dip in the data is a strategic pivot, not a stumble.This raise is fuel for a trajectory that's already in motion.THE TEAMChay Spirits is led by Chase and Jon Glick — a father-and-son team who built this brand from a deeply personal place and are scaling it with serious commercial intent.Chase Glick — Co-Founder \u0026amp; Chief Operating Officer: Chase Glick is the founder of Chay Spirits and the creative and operational force behind the brand. After losing over 150 pounds, Chase identified a gap no one had solved: a spirits brand with the clean ingredients the modern consumer demands and the bold flavor they refuse to give up. He's not saying Chay Spirits is healthy, he's saying everyone can pronounce the ingredients used.Chase brings 10+ years of experience in product innovation, brand development, and consumer marketing that began while he was still in college. His experience includes bringing licensed products from Marvel and major entertainment, and consumer products brands such as BodyBoom, Kamoji, Hollywood Glamour, RediHot, Rubella A.B, Biolenda, Familiar, Kimberly-Clark, and Cottonelle to shelves at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Kroger, Albertsons, and Walgreens nationally. His vision guided Chay Spirits from concept to 450+ retail locations and 44 states in under 3 years.Jon Glick — Co-founder \u0026amp; Chief Executive Officer:Jon Glick’s 30 plus year career spans nearly every facet of the licensing and entertainment ecosystem. He brokered and managed high-impact licensing deals with some of the world’s most iconic entertainment brands and studios including Universal Studios, Dreamworks, FOX, Marvel, WWE and Hasbro. In addition, Jon has a successfully proven track record working with and selling all major FDM accounts including: Walmart, Costco, Target, Walgreens and CVS as well as servicing multiple domestic and international distributors Jon is now expertly growing Chay Spirits.Jon built the business infrastructure. With decades of experience brokering high-value deals with iconic global brands, Jon brings the distribution relationships, investor network, and scaling expertise that takes a great product national.Supporting them is a sales and distribution team with a combined 100+ years of experience in beverage alcohol — including veterans from RNDC, National Wine \u0026amp; Spirits, and major national distributors across Texas, Michigan, Kentucky, and beyond.This is not a brand with a great product and no idea how to sell it.This team has sold alcohol at scale for decades. Now they're doing it for Chay Spirits.ADVISORSThe Network Behind Chay SpiritsAccess is everything in the spirits industry. Distribution relationships, retailer introductions, acquisition conversations — they all run through people who've built their careers inside this business.Chay's Spirits advisory network represents decades of exactly that experience.Advisor Spotlight: Larry WaksLarry Waks is one of the most connected dealmakers in the spirits industry. As a corporate partner specializing in M\u0026amp;A, joint ventures, and strategic transactions across food, beverage, and entertainment, Larry has been in the room for some of the biggest liquidity events in modern spirits history.His transaction record includes:→ Sale of Aviation Gin (Ryan Reynolds) and Davos Brands to Diageo→ Sale of Casamigos Tequila (George Clooney) to Diageo→ Sale of Conor McGregor's Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to Proximo Spirits→ Sale of Dwayne Johnson's Teremana Tequila to Mast-Jägermeister→ Formation of Beyoncé and Moët Hennessy's Sir Davis American Whiskey→ Work with Jay-Z (D'Ussé), Michael B. Jordan, Bruno Mars, Travis Scott, Seth Rogen, and Matthew McConaughey across spirits venturesLarry advises Chay Spirits on growth strategy, distribution, and long-term liquidity positioning.The brands he helped exit sold to Diageo, Proximo, and Mast-Jägermeister for hundreds of millions of dollars.He chose to work with Chay Spirits.Our advisory board also includesTony Zangara (25+ years at Anheuser-Busch and Beatbox, alcohol and beverage sales management),Josh Halpern (former FIFCO and Anheuser-Busch executive, Chay Spirits distribution advisor),Bari Wood (regulatory attorney, 20+ years in corporate strategy),Mark Itkin (former Co-Head of Television at William Morris Endeavor).This is the network most emerging spirits brands spend a decade trying to build.We built it in three years.DISTRIBUTION \u0026amp; RETAIL PROOFDistribution Is the Moat Most Brands Never Build:Getting into retail in the alcohol industry is hard. Staying on the shelf is harder. Doing it across multiple states with real chain relationships is what separates brands that scale from brands that stall.By the end of 2025, Chay Spirits was on shelves in 450+ stores, restaurants, bars, and venues — including major grocery chains, premium hospitality accounts, and national specialty retailers.We did this with a lean team and products that earn reorders.Our distributor network spans seven regional and national partners: Current retail and on-premise accounts include national chains, premium grocery, casino and resort properties, and hospitality venues.THE EXIT OPPORTUNITY / RECENT INDUSTRY ACQUISITIONSWhy the Big Players Are Buying Brands Like Chay SpiritsThe largest companies in spirits are not building the next generation of brands. They're buying them.Molson Coors acquired Atomic Brands (Monaco Cocktails). Anheuser-Busch took an 85% stake in BeatBox for nearly $490 million. Sazerac acquired Dirty Shirley to expand its RTD portfolio. E\u0026amp;J Gallo pursued Four Roses Bourbon for up to $775 million. Tito's made its first-ever acquisition with Lalo Tequila.The pattern is consistent: major suppliers are acquiring high-growth, consumer-aligned brands in the better-for-you and RTD segments — the exact space Chay Spirits occupies.These are not random deals. They reflect a structural reality: the largest alcohol companies cannot innovate fast enough to meet modern consumer demand, so they buy the brands that already have.Chay Spirits is being built to be exactly that kind of brand — with the product integrity, distribution velocity, and consumer story that we believe makes it a compelling acquisition target. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. But the strategic landscape makes us hopeful.USE OF FUNDS/THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITYWhat This Raise DoesWe have the product.

The product integrity is second to none. but taste alone doesn't scale; execution does. Since launching in 2023, the team has been incredibly disciplined on redefining the modern lifestyle drink. They have stayed focused on business fundamentals and long-term brand equity rather than quick, gimmicky wins.
