The injection of capital along with the experience of our VC partners will help to advance our mission of bringing healthier and more sustainable hydration solutions to consumers across the world,” said Justin Wang, co-founder and CEO of LARQ. “We are delighted to have Amanda, David, and Mike join our board of directors, and can’t wait to see the positive impact we are able to create in the hydration industry with their knowledge and expertise.”
