KRISP DRINKS was founded by black entrepreneur Sean Banks, and is a Certified Minority Owned Company by the Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council. “We want to make a healthier beverage option for the minority communities who typically like sweeter beverages. FLAVA and FRUITISH offer a premium product at an affordable price. We have diabetes in my family and I wanted to create a healthier beverage option that is sweet, yet doesn’t contain the sugar, carbs or calories of many healthier beverages, and we wanted to create these brands at a price point that people can buy and drink every day”.

KRISP DRINKS donates 2% of net profits pledged to organizations that aid in bettering underserved communities.

“We have been struggling with how to give something back to the food and beverage community since Covid-19 struck”, stated Bill Sipper, Managing Partner at Cascadia Managing Brands. “When Expo West was cancelled, we offered free consulting to food and beverage companies that were going to exhibit at the show. In light of the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and the current unrest of the country, we wanted to find a brand we could partner with and add significant value. A brand we could add value to without charging high retainer fees. We decided KRISP drinks is the brand we want to partner with and accepted substantial equity instead of immediate fees. We think KRISP Drinks and Sean represent that characteristics and properties we want to support and make a difference, even if just in a small way.”
