WHAT IS CHERRYSH?
Imagine a healthy soda that gives you the best of three worlds: a refreshing experience, great taste, and healthy nutrients!
Cherrysh Inc is creating an all-natural, ZERO sugar added and bubbly drink that tastes good without giving you a sense of guilt! Our ingredients are super fruits and vegetables with low-glycemic index. This means you can drink our soda everyday without adding unnecessary sugar to your diet.
Why a healthy soda?
We're not ashamed to admit that we LOVE soda. Its bubbles are refreshing and make it a great experience. But we know that because of the excessive amounts of sugar, artificial flavoring and other chemicals contained in most soda, it's possible to have too much of a good thing.
This is why the consumption of soda has become one of the biggest contributors to life-threatening obesity, diabetes and cancer.
Why our soda is better?
With
our soda
you
don’t need
to
make any of these trade-offs.
- Bubbles!
- Juice from low-glycemic fruits & veggies
- Flavors & Vitamins from our fruits & veggies
- Natural Sweetness from our fruits & veggies
Our soda is truly refreshing! It's fantastic after work outs, as a complement to your lunch or dinner or simply to quench your thirst on the go!
OUR VALUES
Cherrysh is diverse in all possible ways, but our shared values and passion for improving and promoting the healthy lifestyles of others is what brings us together.
1. Promote transparency and awareness about the realities of the modern food and beverage industry.
2. Share learnings and insights that engender trust in our brand among consumers, and which work toward building a better future.
3. Encourage people to embrace a healthy lifestyle that is 'a joyful aspiration, not a dreadful obligation'.
4. Instill in consumers a shared sense of passion and urgency to move society forward in a more healthy, sustainable way.
5. Treat our environment, customers and community with the utmost respect.
6. Be better and better in all that we do.
THE PRODUCTION TEAM
Our team met one other as graduate students at the Hult International Business School in San Francisco. We participated in a special program focused on innovation and social impact called Co-Creation Lab. After competing for 4 months, a jury of seasoned entrepreneurs and venture capitalists awarded us 1st Place out of 18 teams. Since then, we have incorporated Cherrysh and are continuing to pursue our dream of building the first truly healthy soda beverage company.
