A few months after parting ways with the Wolf Pack, the long-time college assistant founded Lemon Perfect, a flavored cold-pressed lemon water brand. Last month, the company announced it had closed on $31 million in Series A investments, including from global star Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. That financing brought Lemon Perfect’s total funding to $42.2 million with a valuation of more than $100 million fewer than three years from the company’s first sale.
The brand’s first big boost came in January 2020 when an Instagram photo of Knowles-Carter’s limo had a bottle of the company’s Dragon Fruit Mango in its door, leading to a viral push.
“She had posted a photo with it in her limo, and all of a sudden my phone blew up,” Hufnagel recently told TechCrunch. “We came to learn that she was an authentic fan of the brand. A year later, one of our investors was in her house and saw her stash in the fridge and helped us build the bridge with her. It is beyond my wildest dreams to have someone of her influence being a fan of the brand.”
Knowles-Carter, a 28-time Grammy winner, offered praise for the company in a statement released by Lemon Perfect announcing the last round of funding.
“I don’t typically enjoy drinks without added sugar, but Lemon Perfect is delicious,” she said. “It was an easy decision to invest in something that not only tastes great and is healthy, but also, and most importantly, allows choosing a healthier lifestyle to be affordable and accessible to everyone.”
Hufnagel’s idea to start a beverage company had a couple of inspirations. He partially credits a chance meeting with a store owner who dreamed of being a basketball coach for the Lemon Perfect brand idea after the store owner gave Hufnagel a draft of his book on the Keto diet. The book included lemon water recipes. Hufnagel also said watching the locker-room drinking habits of his basketball players first got him interested in creating a water brand, which is basically a mixture of lemon water and Bai.
Lemon Perfect sells for $23.88 for a case of 12 ($1.99 per 12-ounce bottle) and is only five calories with zero sugar and no artificial flavors or sweeteners. It comes in flavors such as Just Lemon, Peach Raspberry, Blueberry Acai and Dragon Fruit Mango and battles in the same market as Hint, Bai and Vitamin Water.
