Vive Organic

Vive Organic operates in the functional beverage market, specializing in 2-ounce, cold-pressed wellness shots formulated from organic and sustainably sourced ingredients. The company was established in 2015 by co-founders Wyatt Taubman (CEO), Kyle Withycombe (COO), and JR Simich (VP of Sales), who identified an opportunity to provide convenient, proactive immune support. In October 2022, Suja Life, a portfolio company of Paine Schwartz Partners, acquired Vive Organic.

The inspiration for the company stemmed from CEO Wyatt Taubman's personal health experiences. After dealing with health issues, a homemade ginger and turmeric shot on a business trip reminded him of the plant-based remedies from his childhood in Hawaii. This experience motivated him to make potent, natural ingredients more accessible. He partnered with friends Kyle Withycombe, who brought expertise in scaling organic food startups and responsible farming, and JR Simich, who applied his background in sales, initially hand-delivering shots to customers.

Vive Organic’s business model centers on the production and sale of these wellness shots, which are sold through both retail and direct-to-consumer channels. The products are available in thousands of retailers across the United States, including major chains like Whole Foods, Target, Kroger, and Albertsons, as well as online through Amazon and the company's own subscription service. The company targets health-conscious consumers seeking proactive wellness solutions, with a primary focus on immune system support.

The product line consists of cold-pressed, plant-powered shots that are USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan. Formulas are developed in collaboration with a team of holistic medicine doctors to ensure a synergistic balance of fresh-pressed superfoods. The company emphasizes ingredient potency and efficacy, positioning itself as a premium offering in the wellness shot space. Their commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through the use of recycled plastic for their bottles and sourcing "ugly" produce to reduce food waste. As a certified B Corporation, Vive Organic adheres to rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
