Today is day 396 of our startup journey. And more importantly, our battle against big electrolyte... We should have posted this sooner, we know
By Cristian Vega, CEO & Late Birthday Celebrator
A year came and went, and we forgot to write a blog about it. In fact, we forgot to write blogs period (Since August 2024). But we're back, and busier than ever. And we are attempting to do our best to keep you all updated on our journey
On November 1st, 2025 Rhovive reached a milestone that too few startups achieve: one year in business! And so we wanted to take a moment to look back and celebrate 12-ish milestones in 12-ish months:
- November 2024: Product Launch. We had our barebones website that we decided to keep for the entire year for some reason, our electrolyte tubs with tiny font (impossible to read.) And a dream.
- December 2024: First Event. We got the tablecloth, pop-up banner. Ragged tent from my parents. But.. Presentable
- January 2024: Our Tabling Journey Continues. We partnered with a well-known gym to start getting the word out. Filmed reactions, created content, quizzed strangers. We also started our subscription package too, and got some sweet insulated bottles.
- February 2025: AMAZON. We started working towards getting our store in check, and getting our product approved by papa Bezos. This took a while.
- March 2025: MORE AMAZON
- April 2025: TAXES: We spent hours on our QuickBooks making sure mileage was calculated, receipts collected, realizing how much money we potentially wasted on materials. And hired a tax guy that probably should get his licensed revoked. (Pro Tip: Hire a CPA guys) We also partnered to present our first wellness event :)
- May 2025: The Month of Wellness Events. Back-to-back events, hired a videographer to help with more content. The absolute best month to gain loyal customers, and a fun one too, and met a ton of people, grew our network.
- May 2025 Pt 2: AMAZON LAUNCH: This deserved a part 2 of its own. The launch of Amazon, gathering reviews, seeing first several sales come in. Imposter syndrome, GONE
- June 2025: Started documenting our story. It lasted 3 episodes.. To be continued.
- July 2025: First Prime Day on Amazon was successful-ish. We forgot, signed up late. But still got a good amount of sales.
- August 2025: Majority of our Product is sold out, started the conversation to bring in the second batch.
- September 2025: Manufacturer doesn't have black jar with a better lip so that our seal would stop breaking. Opted for a white jar. We started redesigning everything, felt like we were starting over
- October 2025: New jars came back, redesigned, new website, finally leaning towards the brand we wanted to become, showcasing a large community behind it
Next year we will tell you what other ish milestones we've hit for the new fiscal year. For now, stay happy, hydrated, ask us questions, and keep reading the blog. Thanks!
