Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Colvin.
Hi Stephen, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was a former executive in the big beverage industry. While I was hiking in the Olympic mountains one day, I found a lot of beverage bottles and cans in what should be a pristine environment. It bothered me that the industry I was in could contribute to so much waste and I determined that I would figure out a better way to do beverages. Spent years developing a significantly better-carbonated beverage in a packet that is both healthy for people and much better for the environment. Founded Bobelo with the purpose to disrupt the beverage industry by doing good, which is why Bobelo is a B Corp and has a non-profit foundation.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely not a smooth road, as we launched our company in the middle of the pandemic and then have dealt with all the effects of that and political turmoil, and challenging economic times for our country. We also had to struggle with creating a product that no one had ever done before.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Bobelo?
An innovative beverage mix manufacturer that uses only clean ingredients and is the first truly carbonated packet mix in the world. We are also a B Corp with a charitable foundation that is focused on doing good for people and the planet.
So maybe we end by discussing what matters most to you and why?
Helping people live their best lives by making products that are better than typical things people use. From a young age, I just wanted to help others, but also invent stuff.
