John believed in Cirkul before we had revenue or real proof of sales. All we had was conviction, a product and an idea. He doesn’t just invest in businesses, he invests in founders. He's not just an investor, he's an operator with great product-market-fit recognition. His calm and strategic guidance helped us think bigger and move faster in our earliest days. Any founder would be fortunate to have him in their corner.

I've worked with John Green across 3 ventures, the most recent being Finnish Long Drink. He's been a trusted partner thinking about everything from route to market to capitalization strategies while navigating dynamic markets. Most people think beverage is easy, the barrier to entry is low but the barrier to sticky scale is very high and John has invaluable experience!

Being part of Quench has given us leverage we simply wouldn’t have had on our own — access to experienced CPG operators, shared learnings that save real time and money, and a deep investor network that understands how to scale beverage brands. It’s a true platform for founders who want to build category-defining companies.

John Green is the kind of investor every founder hopes to have. His real-world experience leads to practical, actionable guidance, and he shows up as a genuinely supportive and empathetic partner. He truly understands the founder's journey, and we’re honored to work with him.

Quench Ventures brings more than capital, they bring real, firsthand operating insight and expertise. John Green and his team are hands-on, collaborative partners with a proven track record of building and scaling best-in-class beverage brands. Being part of a portfolio of category-defining brands adds immediate credibility and strategic lift for Jeng.

In the early stages, bandwidth is the most precious resource. Quench gave that back to us. Their support in critical functions like finance, HR, marketing, and investor relations allowed me to step out of the operational weeds and focus my energies on the strategic levers to accelerate growing our business from zero to one (and beyond).
