Max Baumann is Founder & CEO of Base Makers, a merchandising and sales company for the food and beverage industry. For the past three years, his company has been recognized on the Inc. 500 list of America's fastest-growing companies.
On one of his surfing trips to Australia, he realized that there were energy drinks in the market that were non alcoholic, for relaxation, and to take the edge off. In 2009, Max and his co-founders launched his first business selling non-alcoholic energy drinks out of the back of his pickup truck, Just Chill.
They had the chance to enter the Whole Foods, which began selling in numerous stores. They expanded into the entire Southern California region and began to have different Whole Foods locations.
Max received an invitation from Coca-Cola businesses venturing and emerging brands group to participate in a two-year study program together with 14 other entrepreneurs. Base Makers, his second company, was subsequently established and has been successfully around for eight years.
