Pepper’s Post

One of the things that I have found genuinelly meaningful and inspiring from the last few years of taking the head-first leap into “So you want to start your own beverage company” is not only connecting with other like-minded Dreamer Doers, but also seeing those dreams come to life and grow. Raising capital in early stage beverage is brutal. I could write a damn book on the learnings from going through and completing our seed round haha. But once you get past that initial stage, are still standing, have tangible product / market fit and solid growth / revenue metrics it’s all about Phase 2 growth mode. I linked with Jeremy K. John Dalsey early on into the Nectar Hard Seltzer journey and knew within 30 mins that they came here to go the distance. I also still have their epic OG first secondsry box model that I keep Christmas ornaments in 😂. I am STOKED to see they opened up a portion of their round to involve and further engage their community - I am now a proud investor and officially along for the ride. Game On! I’m a personal and professional fan of the Reg CF Community Raise model. We did a portion of our seed round on Wefunder and it was organized, seamless and has paid community building dividends tenfold. Peep the Nectar link and if anyone out there is curious about the WeFunder model more than happy to share my experiences! Game On! #beverage #growth #community

Some of the most innovative work in #impactinvestment is happening in food and ag (IMHO). In this week’s #SocialImpactPowerChat, we dig into the details with the whip smart Founding General Partner of Rethink Food, Rini Greenfield. She walks us through how the team invests to better the entire food system, and gives us all the gift of the “Mr. Burns Test”. This chat will leave everyone - but especially #socialentrepreneurs and #impactinvestors - with A LOT to think about. Take a listen here:https://bit.ly/3SbfSRl

↻ I am a true believer that everything is cyclical. 🤷♀️ It is still January 2024, it is not (never) too late to rethink our STOC for 2024. We are experiencing a boycott on some of our major Western brands, The Hive as any company we are working around the problems. For 2024 we are rethinking our STOC 🏆 Strategy 🚀 Tactics 👥 Operations 🧾 Compliance 🤝 The Hive has always been precursor in developing and working with local partners, this year even more so. 🤣 I keep on having Ross' voice in my head: pivot! pivot! pivot! 🧐 Are you also rethinking your STOC for this year 2024? #pivot #challenges2024 #clairesancelot #malaysia

Ever stood in line at a bakery, enticed by the buzz of excitement around its pastries? 🥐🥯🥖😋 That’s a taste of herd mentality.
