we re looking for about $5 million. do you know who this is? when they first came on the show to do an elevator pitch, almost nobody had heard of the company. they were pitching a new coconut product. it s called vita coco. both the company and category grew substantially. vita coco eventually faced stiff competition from big-time bottling rival coca-cola who acquired their primary rival zico. we were nervous when we heard that coca-cola had invested in zico. but we also remained focused on doing what we do well. today vita coco is a global leader in coconut water sales, selling in 31 countries, accounting for 46% of the market, and attracting investors like madonna and matthew mcconaughey. the creative founder and ceo katrina started a chocolate renaissance when she started to mix and match unusual ingredients like curry, cheese, and bacon with chocolate.
