Impact
Tomorrow Bars improves how people experience social drinking by helping them feel better, function better, and recover faster, without asking them to stop participating in social life. By offering a food-based, science-backed option that fits naturally into pre-drinking and social routines, the Tomorrow Bar reduces the physical and mental downsides people associate with drinking, such as fatigue, brain fog, and next-day sluggishness. This allows consumers to show up more present the next day at work, school, travel, or fitness, turning a traditionally negative tradeoff into a more balanced experience.
Beyond the individual level, Tomorrow Bars shifts the broader drinking culture toward smarter, more intentional consumption. It bridges the gap between wellness and nightlife by providing a regulated, transparent product that lives in everyday retail environments. This is different than every other "solution" out their because our product is not in supplement aisles or online-only channels, but can be placed with real functional food products. As the brand scales, its impact compounds: fewer lost days after drinking, better decision-making around alcohol, and a new category of functional food that supports healthier social habits.
What I'll do with $5,000
We would use the $5,000 to bridge the gap between small-batch production and scalable manufacturing. Today, we product The Tomorrow Bar in limited runs out of the Grand Rapids commercial kitchen, which has validated demand but caps how fast we can grow. This funding would be applied toward onboarding and initial setup with a co-manufacturer, including formulation transfer, food safety documentation, and small pilot runs needed to finalize production at scale. Moving to a co-manufacturer allows us to increase output by more than 30x while maintaining consistent quality and freeing myself and my brother to focus on sales and retail expansion instead of manual production. By unlocking co-manufacturing, this funding directly accelerates revenue growth and retail readiness. It enables us to fulfill larger wholesale orders, pursue regional retail accounts already showing interest, and reduce per-unit costs through scale.
