Should I start a Drink Business? (alien.top)

Hey everyone,

Just want some general opinions about starting a bev company. Im really passionate about drinks and feel like I could have a product that fills a niche or might just be a good beverage in general.

I read previous post about needing capital because of production/distribution/marketing. Most people saying you’ll just fail and waste money.

My plan would be to spend around 50k for formula creation and the first assortment/marketing. Think this is enough? I’d also do local events/festivals with booths and check local stores to see if they’d carry my product.

Can you Market a "Drink Business"?

What do you know about it, so intimately, that you can convince anyone they need it?

One of the greatest lies of this world is that "Water is Boring".

And yet we add some caramel color to make it look like it was aged in a barrel, some fizz, and call it Coke.

So, what PROBLEM does your business actually solve? You might need to spin your answer to make it make sense, but you still have to answer the question, if you want to create Customers.
