OLIPOP was founded in 2017 by Ben Goodwin and David Lester. Ben and David have been working together for nearly a decade to find accessible solutions to bring the benefits of digestive health to as many consumers as possible. OLIPOP is a deliciously refreshing tonic that is crafted with prebiotics, botanicals and natural plant fiber to support your microbiome and benefit digestive health. We're on a mission to provide an affordable, delicious alternative to soda that delivers leading edge health benefits to mainstream consumers.

  • Consistency, Crunch Time, and Crisp Apple: Travis Hunter’s Game Plan 🍎🏈 For Travis Hunter, sticking to what works has taken him from college phenom to NFL powerhouse. In his recent GQ profile, Travis shares how he’s staying grounded during his rookie season: naps, muffins, hydration, and a fridge stocked with Crisp Apple OLIPOP.  We first got a taste of Travis’s routine in his OLIPOP Soda Story this summer, where he opened up about his love for fishing and cracking open an OLIPOP after a long day on the field or on the water.  Whether it’s game day or downtime, Travis is proof that when you find something that works, you stick with it. And for him, that includes a cold can of Crisp Apple OLIPOP.  📖 Read his full story in GQ: https://lnkd.in/eSpQG5eE  🎥 Watch Travis’s OLIPOP Soda Story: https://lnkd.in/eaNRzWrF

    Our Scientific & Medical Affairs Team hit the road to Nashville for the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo: the biggest annual gathering of dietitians (RDNs) and one of our favorite events of the year!  This year we showed up bigger than ever: 🌟 Debuted our brand-new booth to bring OLIPOP to life in a whole new way  🌟 Shared the science behind our blend of functional ingredients and our latest research in metabolic health   🌟 Launched our digital Dietitian Toolkit, built to support RDNs with the what, why, and how behind OLIPOP (DM us if you're interested in receiving this!) 🌟 Co-sponsored an event hosted by the Retail RD Exclusive with our friends at the Global Prebiotic Association where we had the chance to connect with leading retailers in the health-forward grocery space  🌟 And of course...handed out over 1,000 cans of OLIPOP! 🥤 None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible collaboration across our team and the passionate support from our amazing community. #FNCE, you always remind us why we do what we do. Here’s to the RDNs who keep showing up, asking questions, and spreading the OLIPOP joy. Until next year! 💫

  • Fiber is finally having its moment! 🌱✨ According to Whole Foods Market new Top 2026 Food Trends report, fiber is poised to step out from the shadows of protein. And we're thrilled to see it! As conversations around gut health, digestive support, and the microbiome become more mainstream, the market is responding with more fiber-forward offerings. Whole Foods points to the rise in roots like cassava and chicory, both foundational ingredients in OLIPOP. For us, fiber's always been our unsung hero. It’s been our mission since day one to help close the fiber gap by reimagining one of the most beloved and nostalgic categories in the grocery aisle: soda. Because when better-for-you doesn’t feel like a tradeoff, people are more likely to say yes to it again and again. And as it turns out, soda and fiber are a surprisingly perfect pair. 🥤 👉 Check out the full trend report from Whole Foods: https://lnkd.in/g5-iMBer

  • We’ve been thrilled by the excitement around our OLIPOP x SpongeBob collaboration with Paramount Pictures: a limited-edition Pineapple Paradise flavor inspired by SpongeBob’s iconic home in Bikini Bottom. 🍍 Now, we’re taking that partnership on the road and bringing the pineapple party to a city near you for our biggest retail initiative yet: an 11-weekend, 11-city pop-up tour designed to drive awareness, engagement, and trial. 🚌 The flagship of this nationwide voyage? Our Pop-Up Pineapple, a fully customized Airstream that transforms into a joyful, SpongeBob-themed retail experience. Guests can sample OLIPOP at key retail locations, join on-site activities, and redeem points for exclusive OLIPOP x SpongeBob merch—no deep-sea diving required! This is more than just a taste test; it’s a first-of-its-kind way we’re supporting our retail partners while creating a full-scale moment for brand storytelling and real-world connection with our amazing OLIPOP community. And it all leads up to The SpongeBob Movie, in theatres December 19. 📍 Check out the full tour: https://lnkd.in/gs6Ni6Km

    At OLIPOP, we don’t believe in choosing between doing well and doing good, we believe the best kind of business is one where both go hand-in-hand. 🤝 Our Co-Founder, CEO, and Formulator, Ben Goodwin, recently shared more about this philosophy in a conversation with Mark Miller of Inc. Magazine.   In the interview, Ben reflects on how #OLIPOP was never just about soda. From day one, it’s been about reimagining an entire category through a mission-driven lens: building a more supportive food system, increasing access to healthier choices, and proving that purpose and profit can power each other.  We’re incredibly proud of the impact Ben and our team have made so far—and we’re just getting started. 🚀 Big cheers to Ben for sharing his story with such honesty and heart. Give his original post a read and check out the full article for a deeper look at how we’re rewriting the rules of what a modern soda company can be.  ➡️ https://lnkd.in/djxQEDha

    "Nothing always works and nothing never works." - Charles Darwin That's a proverb I keep coming back to as an approach to life and entrepreneurialism. It makes it difficult to answer “top ten secrets to building a brand” style questions – but I think it fits the truth better in terms of the mindset that helps to increase the chances of success and impact. For me, the real “secret” to building something with staying power is having a mission that you truly care about. Being an entrepreneur is exceedingly difficult, especially in beverage, but chasing a payout alone is unlikely to get you through the toughest situations - and still help you make the strongest decisions. That’s why my drive to create a positive change in nutrition and improve lives has been indispensable for me as the team has built OLIPOP PBC. I truly believe it's a false choice to have to pick between doing good in the world and making a profit. Our journey to positively impact consumer health at scale proves that when you create genuine value for society, people will reward you with their business. It's a different approach to capitalism, one where doing good and doing well are one and the same. I recently sat down for an interview with Mark Miller from Inc. Magazine to share some of our biggest lessons learned. Really appreciated the thoughtful questions and long form nature of the discussion. https://lnkd.in/gSGUPicg

    We’re honored to share that our CEO, Co-Founder, and Formulator, Ben Goodwin, was just named the WINNER of the 2025 Digiday Awards in the new ‘Founder of the Year’ category! 🎉 If you know Ben, you know he’s the kind of founder who would much rather talk about fiber science than personal accolades—but this one means a lot. Ben’s journey began as a teenager searching for better answers about health. That personal path evolved into a mission to make those answers more accessible, enjoyable, and effective for others. OLIPOP was born from that mission: rooted in real science, built with intention, and driven by a deep desire to positively impact consumer health at scale. This award belongs to Ben, but also to our amazing team, our community, and the collaborators who make this mission possible every single day. And to all the finalists: your work is shaping a better, bolder future for your industries. We’re honored to be in your company! 🙌 Thanks to Digiday for the recognition and for celebrating mission-driven leadership.
