"I'm so excited about what this round will do for our business. With this new funding, we've launched our direct-to-consumer product, built a new brand and website, are expanding from four to 11 campuses with more on the way," said Sierra Bloodgood, CEO of Brewbike." We are excited for the reach and impact this funding will allow us to have and are excited to partner with everyone who participated."

Since its formation, the company has employed and supported 450+ students, provided over $700,000 in student wages and has sold more than 250,000 cups of coffee along with wholesale distribution.
Brewbike continues to grow exponentially, appointing former chief revenue officer Sierra Bloodgood to CEO this fall, followed by expansion into seven new markets across the U.S.
