NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 — Cloud Water Brands (CWB), the NYC-based beverage brand with a range of functional benefits specializing in the creation of affordable and accessible health & wellness beverages has announced today the closing of $2.7 million in seed round funding.

“Closing this round with a reputable group of strategic investors will allow Cloud Water Brands to further expand our product lines in both retail and direct to consumer.

With a handful of powerhouse names and experience now behind the brand, and a national distribution network, this looks to be Cloud Water Brand’s breakout year,” says Co-Founder and CEO Marc Siden.
Cloud Water Brands’ new funding comes on the heels of the national launch of their Cloud Water + Immunity line, which offers consumers key immune-boosting ingredients to support immune health in a great-tasting sparkling beverage. This extension of the Cloud Water Brand portfolio continues the brand’s focus on innovating functional beverages that empower people to take health into their own hands by providing science-based, delicious, organic products that support physical and mental wellness.
