Olipop Vintage Cola

Olipop is a leading American beverage brand that pioneered the 'functional soda' category, blending the nostalgic flavors of classic soft drinks with digestive health benefits. The brand was founded in 2018 by Ben Goodwin and David Lester in Oakland, California, as a successor to their previous probiotic drink venture, Obi. Unlike traditional sodas, Olipop is formulated with a proprietary blend of prebiotics, botanicals, and plant fibers designed to support gut health while maintaining a low sugar profile.

The product is manufactured in the United States, utilizing a specialized production process to incorporate its unique 'OLISMART' fiber mix. While the brand initially required refrigeration, it expanded into shelf-stable varieties in 2024 to broaden its retail footprint. As of 2026, Olipop remains a privately held company, though it has reached a significant valuation of $1.85 billion following major investment rounds. The company is backed by a diverse group of investors, including J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners and various celebrity stakeholders, keeping its headquarters and core operations firmly rooted in the United States.
