ZICO COCONUT WATER, GROUNDFORCE CAPITAL & AN ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE TO FREEDOM
from ContenderCast with Justin Honaman · host ContenderCast
Mark Rampolla built ZICO Coconut Water over nine years and sold it to Coca-Cola for over $200M. Then seven years later, bought it back. Now he's rebuilding it bigger than ever, going for $1B+, and documenting the entire process. Mark also leads GroundForce Capital, a $600M firm investing in companies like Liquid Death, Bobbie, and Humm Kombucha. And he's using this rebuilt operating system—FreedomOS—to take ZICO past where it was when he sold it the first time. Not with more grind. With more clarity, more ease, and more fun. Mark joins Justin to discuss beverage, entrepreneurship and more.
