Meet The Founders

WhatsUp started with me and Seb when we were on holiday together, talking about wanting to build something that actually resonated with our audience. Between us we’ve got over 1.5 million followers, so from the start we knew it had to be a product people would genuinely drink, not just something that looks good online. We’re both active, into running and Padel, but at the same time we’re social and go out a lot, and nothing really fit both sides. Seltzers sounded like the answer, but they just left us feeling bloated, and everything else felt too heavy. Then a few weeks later we were in New York and everywhere we went people were drinking vodka iced tea. No carbonation, low calorie, easy to drink. We tried it and straight away it just clicked, it felt like the drink we’d been looking for. When we got back to the UK we tried to find it, and there was nothing, not in bars or shops. That’s when we knew we weren’t just onto something we liked, we’d found a real gap. So we built WhatsUp, no bloating, low calorie, and tastes unreal, built for how we actually live.
