Lemon Perfect has emerged to become a viral enhanced water brand.
Former college basketball coach, Yanni Hufnagel, launched Lemon Perfect in 2017. Within a short three-year period, the nutrient dense cold-pressed lemon water has risen to become a viral enhanced beverage player, rivaling competitors such as Bai.

Beverages overall also maintained its position as the most-funded CPG segment in 2022 led by mega deals with Liquid Death and Olipop, FABID showed, accounting for a whopping 47% share of the total funding.
