Vita Coco

The Vita Coco Company started with a simple conversation in a bar, when two friends met two Brazilian women who were talking about how much they missed “água de coco” from home. That offhand comment sent the founders down a rabbit hole, learning how big coconut water already was in Brazil and how little awareness there was in the United States. They decided to take a chance, importing and packing coconut water for a market that didn’t even know it wanted it yet. What began as a scrappy idea quickly turned into a brand that helped define an entirely new category on American shelves. Over time, Vita Coco moved from niche health stores into mainstream retail, becoming the household name most people now associate with coconut water. The brand benefited from a mix of word-of-mouth, early adopter enthusiasm, and a wave of celebrity investors and fans that gave it cultural credibility well beyond typical grocery products. That momentum helped Vita Coco secure the number-one position for coconut water in U.S. households, and the company has continued to defend and build on that lead as competitors entered the space. Even as the category matured, Vita Coco stayed focused on simple, recognizable ingredients and the idea that hydration should feel clean, light, and refreshing rather than complicated or overly engineered. The company’s story is as much about its supply chain as it is about its packaging. Vita Coco sources coconuts from farming communities in places like Brazil and Southeast Asia, and it has built long-term relationships with growers who supply the fruit that keep the brand’s cartons and bottles filled. Through The Vita Coco Project, the company has invested in programs like Seedlings for Sustainability, aimed at improving farming productivity, supporting livelihoods, and helping replant or renew coconut groves for the long term. That focus on origin—who grows the coconuts, how they live, and what the land looks like—has become part of how the company talks about itself, not just a behind-the-scenes operational detail. In recent years, The Vita Coco Company has formalized its broader mission around doing business in a way that balances growth with impact. It became a Certified B Corporation after years of work on social and environmental initiatives, signaling that it meets defined standards for accountability and transparency, not just marketing language on a box. The company has also taken steps such as carbon-neutral shipping on its direct-to-consumer orders and offering customers the chance to go further and make their shipments climate positive. Beyond certifications and labels, Vita Coco positions itself as a modern beverage company built on “real, honest ingredients” and a belief that feeling good about what you drink can ripple outward—from the farmers growing coconuts to the communities where those products are enjoyed.

UNREAL

Our story began when two kids who loved candy got tired of being told they couldn’t eat it. All their favorites were filled with artificial ingredients, excess sugar, and stuff they couldn’t pronounce. Why did something that tasted so good have to be so bad for them? OR DID IT? That question inspired our mission: to unjunk the world. Unreal was born, and it sparked a ripple of change. With real, simple ingredients, way less sugar, and unbelievable taste, those kids proved that better was possible (and, well, better). Today, we’re shaking up an old-school industry, winning over a devoted fanbase, and showing up on more and more shelves every day.
