Happy October! The weather is cooling and pumpkin spice oatmilk latte season is upon us. A few highlights since our last update include:

• Raising a total of now $319K+ from 835 investors, including from Johann who shared “Alternative milk is a huge opportunity and I believe in the growth potential in the space. The environmental impact reduction and enriched nutrition are also really strong differentiators that I see helping drive adoption. Supporting foods that offer no compromise in experience, while being far lower impact on the environment also strongly aligns with my values.”
• Finalizing pricing with our manufacturing partner for our first production run; we’re now waiting for remaining ingredients to arrive before scheduling a production date
• Being accepted to sell on Faire marketplace, which serves over 200,000 independent retailers
• Onboarding Trojan Marketing Group to support our marketing efforts with their pro-bono services
• Donating giftcards to Helping Challenged Children’s charity event auction, which helped them raise $15K that will be used to grant up to 15 kids with durable medical equipment

We’re working hard on many other facets of the business and look forward to sharing more updates in the weeks to come.
