Listen "VIDE: Ryan Laverty"
Episode Synopsis
Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Ryan Laverty, co-founder of VIDE, ready-to-drink vodka and tequila sodas, without the unwanted sugar and carbs. Both students at Penn State, Ryan and his co-founder Sal, noticed a large void in the alcoholic beverage market. With heavy demand around seltzers, consumers truly weren't aware what was actually inside, due to lack of brand transparency.
Taking this into account, they went on to create VIDE, a drink that is transparent, convenient, and made with quality ingredients. When drinking VIDE, expect to have the same great seltzer taste, without the throat numbing from oversaturated carbonation.
