Machu Picchu Energy Drink

Machu Picchu Energy is a purpose-driven beverage brand founded in 2021 by Bernardo Paiva, a former high-ranking executive at Anheuser-Busch InBev. The brand was established with a dual mission: to provide a "better-for-you" energy drink using organic ingredients and natural caffeine, and to support social causes that benefit children in underserved communities. Its product line features organic energy drinks, yerba mate, and seltzers that utilize natural caffeine sourced from green coffee beans.

While the brand's identity and ingredients like organic maca and yerba mate are deeply inspired by the Peruvian Andes and the founder's passion for the outdoors, the company is headquartered in the United States. Specifically, it operates out of Santa Monica, California, and Miami, Florida. The manufacturing for its retail products is also centered in the United States, positioning it as a premium American startup with a global social outlook. The brand is currently independently owned by the founder and private investors through Machu Picchu Energy LLC.
