Hi, my name is Grant Russell and I’m the President and CEO of Agoge Energy Drink, which is a veteran-owned small business that operates right here in Tampa. Right now the energy drink market is the single fastest growing segment in the entire the beverage industry.

As a veteran owned small business, we think we’re different than the big drink companies. Our big idea to leverage skyrocketing demand for zero sugar energy drink products and the American love of good coffee. What we found is that we could make a delicious coffee with all the benefits of a zero-sugar energy drink with healthy ingredients and at a price that will make us competitive but profitable.

Not only do we sell a product that we know people will love, we think our mission of helping everybody, from students to athletes and working professionals find their inner warrior will resonate with our target market. We’re also committed to sustainably growing our business and giving back to the community. We’ve committed to hiring local veterans first, sourcing ingredients responsibly, and giving back to the community by sponsoring local sporting events and charities. It was great to meet you, here’s my card, I hope you’ll think of us if you have any energy drink needs.
