the vita coco company

The Vita Coco Company is a publicly traded family of brands on a mission to reimagine what’s possible when brands deliver healthy, nutritious, and great tasting products that are better for consumers and better the world.

It all started when our founders, Mike and Ira, had a chance encounter with two coconut water lovers at a bar in New York City. After realizing all the benefits, they hatched a plan to bring more coconut goodness to the U.S with Vita Coco. Buzz around Vita Coco swelled, as coconut water evolved into a mainstay at stores across the country.

ten to one rum

"For too long, rum has struggled to move beyond its complicated history, instead often settling for a narrative that feels uncomfortably restricted to old caricatures and narrow tropes around Caribbean culture.

At Ten To One, we’ve endeavored to build a brand that is “elevated but not exclusive,” grounded in authentic elements of Caribbean culture and heritage, with a narrative that is both compelling and contemporary.

Our sense of shared identity is not born out of what we wear, or even where we spend our time (and money), but a common ideal in the pursuit of our passions, and a commitment to reimagine the world around us. This is rum reimagined."

ISLANDFLAVA

Jenele and Kagame were at a game night and well into the night they had a slightly uncomforting revelation, they felt out of touch. They were unable to relate to the games being played, the jokes being made, and the topics being discussed. They realized they needed to create a game that not only celebrated their Caribbean culture but could be a moment for others to learn about their culture as well. Thus, IslandFlava was born. IslandFlava is sure to bring the fun, jokes, and fellowship!
