ABOUT THE VENTURE
We are a young venture-backed Swiss startup with two fully committed founders, Christian and Linus. With Bottle+, we aim to make on-the-go beverage consumption more sustainable, healthier, and more flexible.

Our first solution is a bottle to produce sparkling water on the go, with which we’ve raised EUR 160k in a Crowdfunding Campaign in the autumn of 2021. Anticipating a product launch in the DACH region in Q4 2022, we aim to drive sales to around EUR 3mn in 2023. To achieve this goal and start writing a success story, we are looking for an experienced, intrinsically motivated, and entrepreneurial-thinking CMO to complement our team.
