Hey Alex, I plan to invest and would love to spread the word to some of my fellow, community investors. Can you speak a little to your enviromental impact throughout the supply chain?

When you say environmental impact, can you be more specific? One subject that comes up are the plastic bottles. We are working on transitioning to corn based bio-degradable bottles. A leading company that sources the same bottle we do is researching this and we are piggy-backing and will adopt the technology once they release it.

Also, from experience I know there are a lot of ways to bring the values in a values driven business through an exit (even to some of the big guys -- thinking Ben & Jerry's/Unilever, or Zico Coconut Water/Coke). Have you thought about social impact all the way through the ...

Hi Michelle, we do have a social impact program with Genius Juice which basically centers around zero waste. At our facility in Thailand, once we extract the coconut water and the coconut, we take the 'husk' and upcycle it. There is a company in Thailand that processes down the husk and it converts to an alternative renewable energy actually powering home and buildings in rural parts of Thailand.

It isn't super simple, however, it is possible with the right language and choosing the right partners.

Maybe they could Pay your past debts, the employees that help start the company before asking the public for money.

Thanks for your statement Mm! Our #1 priority is to grow our brand and company with capital raised. This is the most important area to focus on deploying capital towards so we can continue scaling and achieve our goals for revenue and traction in the marketplace.

Hi Alex, I have just 3 questions for you Thank you in advance for answering them! What was revenue in 2019? Your company raised 920k in 2018. What was/is that money being spent on? Why are you using crowdfunding to raise capital instead of traditional investment routes?

Hi Daniel, here are the answers below: Question 1: Our revenue in 2019 was approximately $800,000 Question 2: From the capital raised in 2018: (the amount raised was actually closer to $562,000. WeFunder double counted the amount raised and sales as one. We will correct this with them $277,000 spent on cost of goods sold $183,000 spent on sales and marketing $57,000 in General and Administrative $45,000 for discounts and chargebacks (marketing/spoilage) Question 3: We are crowdfunding to put ...
