Liquid I.V. is a startup disrupting the hydration industry and aiming to eradicate global dehydration with its revolutionary hydration technology. Founders Brandin Cohen and Hayden Fulstone conceived Liquid I.V. because they were frustrated with chemical and sugar filled sports drinks that were not effectively hydrating them. The former elite college athletes harnessed the pioneering (and underutilized) science introduced by the World Health Organization in the 1970’s to create Hydration Multiplier, a portable and consumer-friendly hydration product available to the masses.Â
Backed by several professional athletes, including New York Knicks guard Sasha Vujacic, ultra-marathoner Sally McRae, and pro surfer Jamie Mitchell, Liquid I.V. has generated rapid success in its three years.
As a way to work toward their mission to eradicate dehydration globally, Liquid I.V. donates 30% of its product to areas suffering from severe dehydration both domestically and globally.
