OUR MISSION IS POWERFUL...
We want to empower and support women as they dream, dare, and unapologetically pursue their ambitions.
We want to be the hydration you reach for to energize your day, celebrate your victories, and inspire your next move.
OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT...
We see a world driven by vibrant, confident women. As a female-founded, female-operated company, we are honored to reinvest our success back into our local community. We are proud to pledge 1% of all sales to support local female-focused nonprofit organizations and gender equality initiatives. It is one of the ways we can embrace our purpose every day.
WE BELIEVE THAT:
Every fall is a lesson.
Every climb is cause for celebration.
Each one of us is a work in progress.
There’s no such thing as perfection. There’s only growth.
OUR JOURNEY IS UNFOLDING...
AN IDEA BUBBLES UP
There I was hosting a Friday evening dinner party with my close girlfriends. An early 10-mile run in the morning during triathlon and marathon training meant alcohol was out for us.
But our celebration of friendship without something bubbly in hand...well, it just fell flat.
So, I went into the kitchen and concocted a non-alcoholic spritzer with homemade herbal tea and seltzer. It had a little bit of bubble. It had a lot of flavor. It felt fancy. It was a huge hit.
This sparkling tea became a dinner party staple every time we got together.
I hadn’t yet made the connection between this drink I loved to make, clink, and sip, and my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Until one day, when a friend casually remarked “you should sell this!”, and it finally clicked.
A TRIBE IS FORMED
2 years of hard work to formulate, refine, and test our product led to a pre-launch in late summer of 2019. But, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the Women’s Small Business Accelerator of Columbus, Ohio, where extraordinary women leaders showed me how to take my dream from idea to reality.
And though we sure love (and we mean LOVE) our sparkling tea, really, underneath it all, our company is about women supporting women. We want to become the go-to healthy beverage that inspires, celebrates, and fuels women to unapologetically pursue their dreams.
Here at Spritz we believe that empowered women empower women. In order to live into our mission and vision every day, we donate 1% of all our sales to organizations that support women - starting with the Women’s Small Business Accelerator of Ohio.
Our contribution will help other women achieve their business dreams, just like so many women helped me achieve mine.
THE PATH AHEAD
So here we are - partnered with some of the best companies and brands in Ohio, available in many local retailers and available online, with some really fantastic media buzz - and it’s only the beginning.
Cheers to all the inspiring women out there - and to the women who support them.
Together we rise.
