At Cirkul, we are transforming the pillars of Modern CPG with a mission to make a healthier world by helping people enjoy drinking more water! And it all begins with a reusable product, end-to-end US-based manufacturing, and a digital-first model.
In 2016 we identified the opportunity to develop an innovative beverage delivery system that would make it easier for the average consumer to drink more water. Our reusable water bottle features cartridge technology that makes drinking more water delicious, fun, and personalized!
Our technology is also disrupting bottled drink distribution. We have saved over 250M plastic bottles since launching in 2018 and our cartridge technology dramatically reduces the shipping weight, volume, and plastics used by traditional bottled beverages.
Here at Cirkul we are reinventing CPG, while building a business that is centered on consumer health, personal choice, and environmental sustainability. If taking care of yourself while taking care of the planet sounds good to you, maybe you should join us! https://drinkcirkul.com/pages/careers

It started with a simple concept: one beer, done right.
We grew up drinking mainstream beers out of habit. While they went down smooth, they lacked flavor. Craft beers provided increased options, with better quality and flavor, but they didn’t give us the session beer quality we craved. We found ourselves choosing between beers that were great for drinking and beers that tasted great. When all we wanted was the perfect beer and nothing less.
So a group of us set out to craft the beer we had always wanted.
That’s House. Born in Venice, it's a tribute to the city from which it came. To the people that define it. The creators and the modern makers. The bold. The authentic.
A premium crafted lager for those that push past tradition and expand the boundaries of their craft. House Beer. Always in good taste.

Vyng has built a next-generation phone platform that visualizes every call.
Vyng is an LA-based company that transforms how conversations start on mobile by bringing emotion to the lockscreen. Vyng’s app lets users set videos as ringtones for friends, playing a fresh video on the lockscreen with every call. Vyng boasts 3 Billion videos played across 170 countries since its launch in 2017. The company is backed by March Capital, Omidyar Network, a Google Ventures partner, and the founders of Giphy and GroupMe.
Check out this video at the 9 minute mark to see us win big $$: https://bit.ly/2PmU2fj
What We're Building
With over 5 million downloads, Vyng transforms a user’s caller ID into a video chosen by either the user or the incoming caller. The Vyng phone dialer replacement allows users to create their own Vyngtone or caller ID, or choose from a curated library of videos arranged by interest channels. The company has three current patents for its proprietary technology delivering video through calls and contextual texting.
Mobile notifications, including incoming phone calls, have long been relegated to a generic, sterile design that lacks creativity. Believing in the untapped potential of lockscreens, Vyng facilitates the quickest, most impactful way to communicate through the delivery of a video to the lockscreen of a device. Since Vyng’s launch of Vyngtones last year, it has served over three billion videos in 170 countries and is driving engagement in regions like South Asia and North Africa where smartphone adoption continues to grow rapidly.
