It was in the course of their brand building in the New York metropolitan area that Lily Li discovered, or was introduced to Rocky Mountain High Brands. She was obviously impressed, and enthusiastically took a large stockpile of the products to a group of affluent Chinese investors. They also were obviously impressed, enough so to form the company Rocky Mountain High Brands China.
7 Eleven is a major work in progress as we speak. The Hy-Vee chain quickly realized the appeal of the brand and took distribution in house.
About that time MadBeez Distribution sold to M&S Up North (distributing in 7 states). Bashers said disaster, but again all lies. I called the old number, and the remaining partner graciously spoke with me for over 10 minutes. He explained how a death in the family and other simultaneous personal loss led the other founder/owner to throw in the towel, so they decided to sell. He said he was very excited to still be working with Rocky Mountain High Brands, and anxiously awaited the spring water coming to fruition as he had solid confidence that he could sell it as fast as they could produce it.
This company will now always be able to say they were a true pioneer in the hemp/CBD infused food and beverage market. Not only a pioneer, but the best thus far, and they haven't been sitting around just talking about it. The Eagle Spirit water and the energy shots making it to market are fine examples, all "under the radar". The bashing liars said those were just lies to trick investors out of their loot. Haven't seen any of them apologize yet.
It would be nearly impossible for a "big boy" to just totally overshadow a pioneering brand like Rocky Mountain High with as much traction in the hemp infused market as they now already have. Take some of their market share? Sure they can. That never goes away, it comes with the territory.
It'd be far easier and less expensive to just outright buy the already well established and well liked brand than to try and squash it. Very similar to what you see in the bio-tech world. Let the little guys take on all of the risk during the "iffy" stages of development, doing the R & D, running trials, knocking on doors and coming up with capital from the mean streets.
Once they've survived that gauntlet, the "big boys" can step in with a juicy offer and snatch themselves up a turn key brand, inject serious capital and turbo charge the already well established brand to quickly shoot it to a strong and very lucrative position in it's respective market.
The realization early in the game that this brand had the "right stuff" to draw that kind of interest is exactly why many of us not only stayed but added more and averaged down. I missed the chance with Microsoft, though I could see it coming, like with several other missed opportunities the funds weren't readily available at the right time. The right time is when you can see the diamond in the rough when it's a micro cap and come up with expendable capital with which to load up on the stock at ground floor prices. Not without risk, but very often with tremendous reward.
