#43: Bill Shufelt, CEO of Athletic Brewing

Today I'm joined by Bill Shufelt, CEO of Athletic Brewing   Athletic Brewing makes non-alcoholic craft beer. Back in March, the company closed a $17.5M Series B funding round.   In today's episode, we talk about the rise of mindful drinking, making non-alcoholic beer cool, and how Bill was able to raise money from 60 angel investors for a pre-product, pre-revenue company.    About Bill Schuflet >>    Bill Shufelt is the founder of Athletic Brewing Company - the first brewery in the country dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic craft beer.
