Investment Opportunity: Unity Vibration Kombucha Beer, Michigan

In the Great Kombucha Withdrawal of 2010, every brand in the US was removed from store shelves. Unity Vibration founders Tarek & Rachel Kanaan were already producing kombucha tea when theirs was flagged as being over the 0.5% ABV limit. They pivoted and, in 2011, began making the world’s first high ABV hard kombucha in a small downstairs bedroom in a historic Ypsilanti, Michigan farmhouse.

Over the past 12 years, they have steadily grown the business, and are now looking to raise $1 million from a pool of investors to take their successful business to the next level.

Milestones

• 2014: Expanded distribution to 11 regions.
• 2016: Grew 45% to $1 million in sales.
• 2021 Grew sales 31%
• Today: Sold in 10 out of 12 regions of Whole Foods Markets, as well as 2,000 retail outlets in 22 states, including Meijer, Publix and liquor stores, craft beer bars,and bottle shops.

Goal: For Unity Vibration to become a truly national brand and a segment leader in the hard kombucha category.

The $1 million they raise will go toward growing Marketing, Sales, and OpEx.

Product Portfolio

Unity Vibration offer a complete beverage portfolio, brewing kombucha BEERS, TEAS, and SPRITZERS.
