Lucky Energy, a simpler, better-for-you energy drink, recently announced that the company has welcomed Dan Ginsberg, former Chief Executive Officer of Red Bull North America and CEO of Dermalogica®, to its Board of Directors. In addition, the company has successfully closed a $14.2 million oversubscribed Series A1 round, bringing its total funding to over $40 million. The round is led by Maveron, with backing from DMG Ventures, Second Sight Ventures, and existing investors: Imaginary Ventures, Brand Foundry Ventures, Sapphire Ventures, and Sugar Capital.
“From the moment we met Richard and the team at Lucky Energy, we were inspired by his extraordinary personal journey and the universally powerful idea that life is something worth celebrating—that each day is a gift. When we tasted the product, we were immediately impressed by its incredible taste, clean ingredients, and bold brand vision. Maveron is thrilled to partner with Lucky Energy and support them on their path from obscurity to ubiquity in the vibrant and rapidly evolving energy drink market,” said Dan Levitan, cofounding partner of Maveron, in a recent press release.
“We are grateful to our partners for sharing our vision for a healthier future,” added Richard Laver, founder and CEO of Lucky Energy. “Our mission is to give people the fuel and motivation to persevere and thrive. With this latest investment round and marketing, branding, and operations executive Dan Ginsberg now on our Board, we are well-positioned to lead the category and bring more Luck(y) to the people.”
Dan Ginsberg also commented: “In an extremely competitive category, there are very few brands that have what it takes to break through and build consumer-driven success. Lucky is one of those very, very few. The team, the product, and the story are stellar and will compete at the highest level.”
