On the heels of recently showcasing its pioneering solutions at the Wall Street Journal's esteemed Future of Everything Festival, Smart Cups is committed to revolutionizing various industries from food & beverage, consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical, and others, while also advancing environmental sustainability.
The company successfully completed two rounds of funding on StartEngine over the past year, raising an impressive total of $2.7 million. This achievement underscores investor confidence in the company's innovative approach and its potential to disrupt the market. Building on this momentum, Smart Cups has set a new funding goal of $2.3 million in its current round on StartEngine, with this new funding enabling the company to scale its operations, expand product offerings and enter new markets—driving further innovation in the beverage and ingredient dosing sectors.
As part of its growth strategy, Smart Cups also unveils several new and upcoming partnerships that will enhance its market reach and technological capabilities. The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center and Smart Cups have forged a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to explore Smart Cup's pioneering printing technology. This collaboration aims to explore innovative applications for Soldier rations and micronutrient delivery, leveraging Smart Cups' cutting-edge printing technology for enhanced performance and nutrition in military settings. Smart Cups also announced an exclusive two-year deal with Compana Pet Brands, a global leader in pet care and nutrition, several months ago, with retail distribution anticipated for this Fall. This transformative partnership ushers in a new era in the pet care industry by leveraging Smart Cups' revolutionary printing technology to directly print accurate doses of pet supplements onto recyclable pet bowls, encouraging hydration and delivering unprecedented convenience and precision in pet care.
