At Spindrift Beverage Co., were challenging peoples expectations of how good a beverage can be. ​ ​ We believe taste is everything, nature gets it right, and real ingredients should be accessible to all.​ ​ Spindrift® is proudly made the hard way™. Since 2010, weve been doing things the hard way, the intentional way, the better albeit more challenging way, the right way - because, in the end, it’s worth it.​ ​ Our products debuted in artisan Boston-area shops and eateries, where they caught the eye of local foodies and craft beverage fans. Then, it grew slowly from a cult-like following to a wide, diverse fan base. Today, our beverages can be found and enjoyed nationwide, in US retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and even ordered directly from our website.​ ​ Headquartered just outside of Boston, our team is obsessively involved with the entire process of creating Spindrift. From visiting the farms where we source the best-tasting ingredients to being on-site for every single production run to tasting every batch, this hands-on approach is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. We love the challenge that comes from working with real ingredients and making a product that stands out in a crowd.​ ​ And we’re still just getting started. Join us in making every beverage a positive force of nature.​

211vc is an informal collective of business leaders that invests in purpose-driven consumer and technology start-ups. At 211, we’ve lived the problems we aim to help solve… either as customers, employers, employees, or even human beings. We bring passionate capital as well as decades of mistakes and experience to the arena. Why 211? 1 degree makes all the difference Water boils at 212ºF… and yet at 211ºF it’s hard to tell what, if anything, is happening. In business, and in life, its not much different. Challenges increase over varying lengths of time. Problems stack on top of each other. Until one day everything erupts - processes deteriorate, teams fall apart, businesses suffer immense setbacks, and even tempers flare. Often when we reach that boiling point, it’s too late to do anything constructive. Our goal is to invest in and support start-up businesses long before boiling point - usually at the very beginning when frustration is often the reason an entrepreneur endeavors on something new and innovative. We join the team with ultra-patient capital and experience at a time when optimism and cooler heads prevail and experience and past mistakes can help determined founders find exciting long-term solutions. We strive to meet and invest in technology companies and founders that are attempting to: 1) provide meaningful and innovative benefits to the frontline, often hourly, workforce – while also supporting employers who aim to improve the lives of their employees 2) provide innovate tools and capabilities to small businesses – often restaurants – to help them win even against their most formidable, much larger competitors 3) have developed a consumer startup or brand - think beverages, food, restaurants – that is so special it can’t be ignored. When we make an investment in this category, get in your car or hop online with your credit card ready because we are absolutely sure you won’t be disappointed! We look forward to hearing from you 🙏🏼
