HOW TO EXPAND THE MARKET MARKET TO TECH COMPANIES AND THEIR CATERERS Tech companies in SF Bay Area provide their employees with free snacks and beverages. They are interested in providing diverse array of beverages in order to improve employee morale and image: be a fun place to work. Once we set Mate Mate in the cafeteria, an employee has just to pick it from the fridge. The company will cover the cost. The barrier for adoption is gone! When an employee gets used to Mate Mate at work they will seek and recognize Mate Mate at bars and grocery stores. As more tech employees are aware of Mate Mate, more people in SF area will learn of Mate Mate by the word of mouth. It will be easier to convince stores and beverage distributors to carry Mate Mate once it is a sought after, known brand.

ABOUT ME My name is Gurgen and I live in San Francisco. In September I was in Berlin and discovered Mate Mate. I have a vision – Mate Mate becoming The Drink of San Francisco Millenials. The new Red Bull for everyone in creative, tech or service industry. It will be The San Francisco Drink. I spent the last 10 years in the Tech Industry in SF, and I know everything about the city and the tech industry. I know who to engage, who to connect with, with whom to speak. I have connections in all major companies and friends all over the service industry – bars, cafes, nightclubs. If I don’t know someone, you can be sure Ill find them and connect.
WE WILL MAKE MATE MATE HAPPEN
