Loverboy is the top-performing brand in the Hard Seltzer & FMB categories. We are revolutionizing how alcohol is sold, consumed, & experienced by taking a digital-first approach to the trade & building direct relationships with consumers. But what exactly is Loverboy? We are a premium alcohol and lifestyle brand focused on setting new trends and standards in the better-for-you and ready-to-drink beverage categories. Our Sparkling Hard Teas are sold through the 3-tier system, and our RTDs and Merchandise are sold direct-to-consumer. Aside from our drive and commitment to creating game-changing beverages, Loverboy is a do-good company. We are on a mission to show the world a good time while finding new ways to give back each quarter. The result? Loverboy is the #1 brand in the beyond beer category based on our $ velocity. We are also the fastest-growing omnichannel alcohol brand, and we are doing it organically and profitably. Our team has built a best-in-class distribution network of over 150 wholesalers, providing nationwide coverage as we rapidly expand to meet pent-up demand. What about the culture? Loverboy is a Play-Hard, Work-Harder family. With CEO Kyle Cooke at the helm, you know we’re all here to have a good time doing what we love. Though we are known to burn the midnight oil, we understand that balance is key to our individual and collective success. We offer unlimited vacation days to do use at your discretion, work-from-home flexibility, and an opportunity to earn equity in the company. Our focus is on building a positive, welcoming environment that thrives when team members think proactively, work collaboratively, take initiative, and aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and wear multiple hats.

The mission of Operation: Heal Our Heroes is to help stop the widespread suicide endemic that has plagued our nation’s veterans. Concept of the Operation: Many Americans are unaware of the fact that every single day nearly 22 military veterans are lost to suicide. There are two fundamental reasons for this tragic issue. The first is because the transition back to “normal life” can often be a difficult journey, particularly without a strong support system to lean on. The second is because our government is unfortunately under resourced to effectively provide the attention and care required for the thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who have endured and continue to bear the psychological burdens associated with our country’s time at war. Operation HOH was launched to adroitly tackle both of these issues simultaneously. Throughout the past year, we have held various functions that have served as a forum to help educate hundreds of Americans, both civilian and military alike, on why we continue to lose so many of our nation’s Heroes despite being back on our home soil. Through this knowledge comes empowerment, as we’ve enabled numerous Americans to be better equipped to recognize the signals of a struggling friend or family member. Additionally, our events have generated thousands of dollars that have gone toward facilitating easier access to private mental healthcare to ensure that our Veterans can expeditiously get the help and support they need and deserve. Operation HOH has partnered with both Give an Hour, (http://www.giveanhour.org/) and The HeadStrong Project (http://getheadstrong.org/), both organizations that have had an immense impact in the mental health space, to help promulgate this effort. Our quest to improve mental health among our Veterans is a fight that all of us as Americans must shoulder together.
