Thank you all so much for the support!

Initial goal: $3,500 by August 31st

Reality: posted July 10th hit it goal by July 19th, all thanks to you.

But this is just the beginning.

Next! There are a few big milestones ahead, and next up is: materials for showcase/slight marketing

Stretch Goal #1: Trademark Filing – Unlocked! +$1,200

This will allow me to officially claim the name I’ve been building from day one, covering the cost to file and protect the brand legally. (Completed!)

Stretch Goal #2: Showcase materials/marketing - Unlocks at +$2,100

(In progress…)

The showcase at my alma mater is around the corner. Banner, business cards, stickers, posters, banded hats, tasting cups, event filming/pics all requires some cash...

Stretch Goal #3. (...)

Hi, I’m Adamma! — and this journey started with a lemonade stand when I was just 8 years old in California.

I didn’t just sell lemonade. I built a little business that brought in over four figures in just a few months. More than anything, it taught me what I loved: building something from nothing, connecting with people, and creating experiences that bring joy.

That moment sparked a love for entrepreneurship that’s never gone away. So I followed it to Babson College — the #1 school for entrepreneurship — and spent part of my junior year studying in Spain. While abroad, I noticed something: when people consumed alcohol, the way they socialized and celebrated felt different. It was lighter, more intentional, and fun.

That observation stuck with me and planted the seed for a beverage built around balance, better choices, and good vibes.

What Am I Building?

After months of research and iteration, I’ve landed on a canned wine spritzer with very unique ingredients (more revealed soon)...designed to offer a fresh take in a changing beverage market. I can’t share all the details just yet, but I’m excited to reveal more soon.

This product will definitely carve out a new category in the market.

Where am I now?

In just 2 months, I’ve made significant progress:

✅ Finalized branding and packaging design myself — including visual identity, tone, and early mockups

✅ Currently in the second round of beverage formulation with a beverage scientist

✅ In conversation with retailers in the Atlanta area who’ve expressed interest

✅ Connected with angel investors and early distributors to grow my network and learn

✅ Preparing to do live testing of the product this October at Babson Alumni Weekend

What I Need Help With?

The full process to get this idea off the ground costs $4,500. I’ve already contributed $1,000 of my own funds. Now, I’m raising $3,500 to cover two critical next steps:

Legal — $1,300

This will allow me to register the company, secure necessary licenses, and work with a lawyer who can assist with early-stage contracts and more. Most importantly, it will allow me to speak with buyers, partners, and the public (without holding back on details) about the company and product.

Formulation — $2,200

Completing this will finalize the formula for the 1st SKU.

Why It Matters?

Babson Alumni Weekend is coming up in October 2025, and it’s the perfect chance to show that my product truly clicks with its target audience through tasting. To make the most of it, I need to be legally compliant, product-ready, and confident in my pitch. If I do, I’ll leave the event with new customers, clear proof of traction, and a strong springboard for our first official production run in Q1 2026.

If you believe in small beginnings, bold ideas, and young founders betting on themselves, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support!

Thank you for helping me take this leap,

Adamma
