I've said openly that I think Poppi and/or Olipop will be acquired for > $1 billion in the near future (2024-2025). Both are at a size where they risk becoming a really expensive acquisition if they continue to grow on their own. Grow on your own also might not look as enticing

Prediction for CPG: The small coalition of acquirers will make considerable moves this year to snatch up the new generation of winning brands. I believe: Ollipop Poppi Prime All get acquired in the next 12-18 months.

Most super successful beverage food & brands aren't offering something that’s radically different. They're selling something that's a slight derivative of a product with established demand and/or they're selling a very similar product but doing it in a new way.

Non-alc beer & spirits have come so far but still feel like they are going to improve so much more. Really excited to see this trend continue to thrive.
