Fueling a Rocket. Taking a Bite of the Vodka Market.

Our mission is to elevate your spirits. To make that a reality for more people in more places, we’re kicking off Project Appleseed, our seed round for Stage 2. During Stage 1 (proof-of-concept) we bootstrapped the business to learn how to create and keep customers – and keep them coming back, which we did. Now, we are ready to reach new heights and create the fastest-growing premium vodka brand in California.

Our brand is built on tradition, taste, and quality, offering an award-winning, apple-based spirit from my Polish family formula. It stands out in a crowded category – with its gluten-free, low-calorie, vegan, paleo, keto, and clean attributes. Our business is built on Silicon Valley insights, innovation, and growth practices – and has already created customer loyalty and the best-selling apple-based vodka in California.

The global vodka market is $40B and expected to grow to over $68B by 2033. While vodka is dominant in spirits, it lacks innovation and a brand that captures consumer hearts, minds, and palates. We believe it's time for vodka to reemerge as an authentic, quality spirit. Rocket Vodka is positioned to make that happen with the right brand and a unique product handcrafted in California from 100% apples.

We have dozens of loyal, repeat customers from day one since launch with strong relationships. Consumers discover our vodka in craft cocktails featured on menus at prestige launchpads that care about their customer experience: Meyhouse, Palo Alto Hills Country Club, Solage Auberge, St. Michael’s Alley, Teleferic, Tèrun, Vina Enoteca to name a few. Also, Total Wine is running a California-wide test with threepeat reorders to date.

We have no investors, no debt, and no employees or offices, running a bootstrapped, breakeven business. We own our brand, trademarks, and domains. We’ve built a global community of over 100k followers. We’ve won awards voted by consumers and experts alike, including Best in Show Vodka and Platinum Medal at the 2024 L.A. Spirits Awards and a Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

As a result, we are a seed round company with A series characteristics, seeking investment to propel our growth and take our brand and business to the next level. This is an opportunity to be a part of creating the fastest-growing premium vodka brand in California, with achievable aspirations to expand nationally and globally – and 9-figure exit potential based on fast-growth, celebrity-backed spirits benchmarks.

We are a Crew of Silicon Valley brand, demand, and growth experts, who work with the best, highest-quality industry suppliers and partners we can find to create award-winning, elevated spirits. We know how to grow. We are seeking angel investors to help us grow faster. We would welcome introductions to anyone interested in joining our journey. Please feel free to contact me here.

PS: We'd be happy to provide more detailed information – and of course offer a sample of our award-winning California spirit from 100% apples.

Cheers to you and your peak moments,
