Mission is building the next generation of daily rituals for natural performance. We create matchas (and soon caffeine controlled coffees with added functional ingredients e.g. creatine) for those wanting to achieve more every single day. Always natural, science led and great tasting. Our products are already used by 12 Premier League teams, six Formula One teams and hundreds of GB athletes. This year, we have exciting product collaborations launching with Pierre Gasly and Holger Rune. With the long term aim of becoming the world’s leading natural performance brand, our next chapter is focused online. We’re building a high-growth D2C business with a clear ambition: reach £10m of UK revenue in the next 24 months. We’re a small, ambitious team based in Vauxhall. We move fast, test quickly, stay close to the customer, and care deeply about building something genuinely differentiated.
