But no one has cracked the code on how to make that happen conveniently and sustainably—whether you’re at the office, on your couch, out on a hike, or anywhere in between.That's why we're building Roam - for people like you who want more from every sip, with just one bottle that keeps your water cold, crisp, and offers endless personalization.We’re a Gen-Z / Millennial-focused brand changing the way people drink water by creating innovative and IP-protected \"top technology\" that literally transforms plain, boring water into sparkling and/or flavored water directly inside a reusable water bottle.Roam is the future of sustainable, personalized hydration.Americans are ditching sugary sodas and single-use plastics in favor of healthier, more sustainable options.Roam's first product, SodaTop™ is designed exactly for this shift- a portable soda maker that fits in the palm of your hand. SodaTop™ the world’s first insulated water bottle with built-in carbonation technology—so you can sparkle your water on the go.No countertop space. No clutter.Just crisp, refreshing bubbles—anywhere, anytimeFill your bottle with cold still water.Screw on your SodaTopLoad your CO₂ Twist to carbonate. That’s it—fresh bubbles, anytime.

Ultra smooth, mirror polish prevents bubbles from fizzing out, keeping your drink sparkling for longer. Triple-wall vacuum insulation keeps water cold for 24 hours. Ice for 2 days.The Market, The Trends, The TailwindsThe $50bn sparkling water market is growing at over 12% CAGR and expected to double in size by 2032. The US is growing the fastest, driven by rising demand of healthy beverages with no added sugar and free of calories.McKinsey research revealed that 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized experiences and over 3/4 get frustrated when it doesn't happen. Mass-market, pre-packed beverages are the antithesis of personalization.\u0026nbsp;Millennials have been driving the explosion of more personalized flavored/enhanced beverages and carbonated water trend for many years now.\u0026nbsp;500 billion single-use water bottles are consumed annually, and upwards of 30 billion pounds of plastic ends up in the ocean annually. More frightening, single-use plastic water bottles contain 10 - 100 times more microplastics than previously estimated.\u0026nbsp;Sodastream sold for $3.2bn in 2018. Cirkul is estimated to do $1b in revenue this year...just 7 years after launch. Sparking, flavored + personalized hydration is the future.Stanley grew from $75m to $750m in just 3 years.New generations view beverages differently. They prefer using their own bottles and enjoy creating their own drinks. -- Ramon Laguarta, CEO PepsiCoConsumers love itThe Press loves it Investors love itEarly Investors/Believers:Blue Scorpion VC - Early investors in Quip, Eight Sleep and Van LeeuwenUncommon Denominator VC - Early investors in Dollar Shave Club, Liquid Death\u0026nbsp;Gary Vaynerchuck - Chairman, VaynerX and CEO, VaynerMediaScott Allan - Ex-CEO of HydroFlask.

Our vision is to become 'the Apple' of the $350 billion hydration market.It's the same, hardware-focused, mission-driven Rocean team. Hardware is indeed hard, but we already know how to do this -- as a team -- so massively reduces risk + time to market.\u0026nbsp;Our lead investor and manufacturer is the lead manufacturer of HydroFlask lids. Again, massive tech risk reduction thanks to years of built in-know how.\u0026nbsp;It's a very powerful razor razor-blade + subscription business model. Both subscription-based and \"razor-blade\" consumables (CAC \u0026lt; LTV). Just 10k users = $3m ARR and 100k users = $36m ARR. Notable - Cirkul ($1bn biz in just 7 years).It's inherently viral on social media (like all reusable bottles). Since we literally \"transform water\" we expect it to be even more so.A strong multi-year product and IP roadmap (carbonation, flavoring, etc) with a highly creative / technically savvy core leadership team. 11 patents filed already.\u0026nbsp;High exit potential. We know all the key decision makers of many players in the space (from beverage players to reusable water bottle brands), so a positive exit is extremely likely.See how SodaTop stacks up against the rest.Designed to keep sparkling drinks cold and bubbly longer1-way delivery convenience.

Serial entrepreneur, Sunjay Guleria, has assembled the same team that created Rocean, an award-winning filtration \u0026amp; carbonation device.\u0026nbsp;Sunjay founded and launched Rocean in 2017 and in 3 years they sold to Pentair, which yielded a 5x return on investment and 100%+ IRR.\u0026nbsp;This is a world-class team combining experience at Apple, OXO, HydroFlask, and SharkNinja, and punches way above its weight for a company at this stage.\u0026nbsp;We also like the construction of the founder group.\u0026nbsp;The combination of an experienced sales leader (Sunjay - CEO), an experienced operational lead (Charlie – COO), and an award-winning product designer (Mohini - Chief Creative Officer/Design lead) that have all worked together before, often leads to faster product development cycles and reduces risks related to product market fit.\u0026nbsp;","quick_facts":["The reusable water bottle that transforms tap water into instant sparkling water anytime, anywhere","Disrupting the $350B single-use plastic bottled water market with sustainable products","Raised $5M+ from notable investors: Gary Vaynerchuk, Nas, DJ Black Coffee \u0026amp;
