Impact
CocoMar is redefining the protein drink category by merging whole-food nutrition with functional hydration. Our impact goes beyond just offering a better-tasting alternative — we’re creating a new standard for what a protein drink should be: clean, natural, and truly beneficial to the body.
By using coconut water as our base and real fruit as our flavoring, we deliver complete protein with added electrolytes, antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients — without added sugar or artificial ingredients. This positions CocoMar as a healthier, more holistic option for individuals who are tired of settling for protein products that prioritize macros over real wellness.
CocoMar empowers consumers to fuel their active lifestyles without compromise — whether they're gym-goers, busy professionals, or anyone seeking a convenient, nutritious option throughout the day. With a 97% approval rating, we’re already seeing strong demand and positive feedback from our early testers, showing that people are craving a product that combines function, flavor, and transparency.
On a broader scale, CocoMar is pushing the health food and beverage industry toward more authentic, ingredient-first solutions. We’re championing a future where wellness is not just about protein counts or calorie numbers, but about nourishing the whole body with real, recognizable ingredients.
Through continued growth, we aim to make nutritious, tropical-inspired protein smoothies more accessible to everyday consumers while setting a new precedent for integrity and innovation in the market.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000 in funding, CocoMar will focus on four essential areas to accelerate growth and market readiness. First, $2,000 will go toward a small production run of our flagship Açai with Blueberry protein smoothie. This includes sourcing premium ingredients, bottles, and covering co-packing costs, allowing us to create finished units for sampling, testing, and early sales. Next, $1,000 will be allocated to product testing, which includes flavor refinement, shelf-life evaluation, and nutritional verification through lab analysis. This ensures that our product not only tastes amazing but also meets health and safety standards.
To build momentum and attract our core audience, $1,400 will support marketing and brand awareness efforts. This includes digital campaigns, branded content creation, and in-person sampling at fitness studios, wellness events, and college campuses. We’ll also collaborate with health-focused influencers to extend our reach. Lastly, $600 will be used for legal expenses, primarily to finalize our trademark and protect our intellectual property as we prepare for broader distribution and investor engagement.
This funding will position CocoMar for a strong go-to-market launch by validating our product, building visibility, and securing the brand’s foundation.
