RUNA was founded in 2009, days after we graduated from college. But our story begins several years earlier, when Tyler was living with the Kichwa people in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It was then he was introduced to guayusa – a naturally caffeinated tree leaf brewed like tea, consumed early in the morning to help interpret dreams and late at night to provide energy and clarity while hunting in the jungle. He loved the earthy flavor, smooth taste, and energy boost he got from the leaf. Living and working in Latin and South America, we both saw how unsustainable activities like logging were enticing ways for people living in the rainforest to pay for education and medicine. We also saw how development projects implemented by NGOs often floundered because they lacked buy-in from local stakeholders.
Daiya Foods was founded in Vancouver, Canada in 2008 out of a love for good food and a commitment to healthy living. Today, as an industry leader and one of the founding members of The Plant Based Foods Association US and the Plant-Based Foods of Canada Association, Daiya remains passionate about celebrating delicious food that is free of dairy, gluten, soy and nuts. The company`s growing line of premium, plant-based foods, began with cheese formats including blocks, shreds, slices, sticks, cream cheeze style spreads and cheeze sauces. The product portfolio has expanded with great success into pizza, burritos, and non-dairy frozen dessert. Daiya products are available in the traditional dairy case and freezer aisle and includes shelf-stable products like Cheezy Mac and dairy-free salad dressings.

We are North America`s first social water brand, dedicated to the pursuit of positive experience and providing the highest quality water in the world, with a reduced environmental footprint. Founded by serial entrepreneur, Nicholas Reichenbach, Flow offers consumers the healthful benefits of drinking naturally alkaline spring water from a local and sustainable source. “We imagined a bottled water brand that was naturally healthful. Not filtered or altered tap water owned by a major corporation. We looked for an alternative to the plastic bottle, a package with the lowest possible carbon footprint. We stopped looking and we started creating.” -Founder & CEO Nicholas Reichenbach Our water has been nurtured for thousands of years in a limestone aquifer located on a family-owned property in Mildmay, Ontario, Canada. Flow`s water naturally collects essential minerals, electrolytes, and an alkaline pH. We have partnered with Tetra-Pak to create the industry`s lowest-carbon footprint packaging that is also PET and BPA free. Our goal, together with Tetra-Pak, is to make a pack that is completely renewable. More than two thirds of Flow`s package is made of paperboard that comes from trees harvested in responsibly managed forests and/or controlled sources. None of the resources used in our cartons come from old growth trees or rainforests. It uses just enough material to keep the package stable. Our packets are 3-5% package and 95-7% content - thinner than an eggshell. Flow Direct, our subscription service delivers water to your home or office for free VIA our eco-friendly electric SUV.
