A Remarkable Journey: DrunkenApe's Unstoppable Evolution

Introduction:

Picture this - a dream nurtured with a mere 7000 shillings ($50), a spark ignited during the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic. DrunkenApe was born as a bold vision to bring unique, artisanal cocktails to a world in need of a taste adventure. We've come a long way since that humble beginning, defying expectations and building a brand that stands tall, ready to conquer new horizons.

The Genesis:

Amidst the uncertainty and challenges of 2021, we saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary. As bars shuttered, we dared to reimagine the cocktail experience. At Evergreen Park, our spirited concoctions found eager takers, igniting a passion that would set the stage for an exhilarating venture.

Evolution to Greatness:

From those early days, we grew exponentially, our name echoing through the streets of Nairobi. DrunkenApe became more than just a brand; it became a movement of flavor exploration and vibrant experiences. Our social media family swelled to 5K+organically , a testament to the captivating stories we shared, sparking connections far and wide.

The Journey of Lessons: Our path was not without its challenges, but with perseverance, we overcame them all. Building a committed team proved instrumental, and I grew as a person and a business owner, learning the value of resilience and determination. Market expansions brought both triumphs and lessons, guiding us to embrace opportunities that supported small businesses and innovate endlessly.

Our Remarkable Wins:

Our passion and dedication garnered recognition far beyond our wildest dreams. In October of last year, we were honored to be nominated at the Top 30 Under 30 Awards in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, by the CEO Roundtable East Africa, under the Food and Beverage category. The event celebrated exceptional young leaders, and during that unforgettable evening, I had the privilege of accepting the prestigious Best Male CEO Top 30 Under 30 Award.

Unforgettable Partnerships and Memorable Moments:

Along the way, we joined forces with like-minded brands, forming partnerships that celebrated our shared values. Filau Adventures, Melsafaris, Auwana Camping, The Bowery Kilimani, Whisky Barrels Mountainview, and others became cherished collaborators in our grand vision. We treasure the memories made at craft markets like Tubayo Market and Junubin POP Up Market, moments of connection and celebration that will forever remain in our hearts.

Inspiration and Creativity:

A symphony of creativity echoed throughout our journey, brought to life by the talents of remarkable content creators and event partners. Frankie, Mirakau, Nana, Yaba, Weru, Iryne Winn, Suvilla, Shiftnation Tunerfest, and Loftstudio added vibrant colors to our canvas, making DrunkenApe a living work of art.

Vision for the Next Three Years:

As we gaze toward the horizon, our dreams reach even higher. DrunkenApe envisions itself as a global icon, transcending boundaries and reshaping the RTD beverage industry. Sustainability will be at the core of our identity, inspiring others to join us in preserving our planet. We embrace technology as our ally, enhancing customer engagement and optimizing our supply chain.

Raising the Bar: Building a Production Facility and Beyond:

To unlock new frontiers, we are raising funds to build a state-of-the-art production facility and secure essential licenses. These strategic steps will pave the way for our products to grace the shelves of retail markets, reaching every corner of the globe.

The journey of DrunkenApe is a tale of passion and perseverance, of a dream birthed from the depths of uncertainty and nurtured to resplendent heights. We invite you to join us on this voyage of flavors and experiences. Explore our products, be inspired by our story, and shake up the beverage industry alongside us.
