Idea

Introduction

Our brand story is a personal one.

Skinny’s founder, Ian Minton, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes aged just 23. With an inclination for a Gin & Tonic, Ian found out that even low sugar tonics could make his blood sugar spike...

...So, seeing an opportunity to improve his social experience and an unmet need in the market for a zero calorie, zero sugar, mixer, Ian launched the Skinny Tonic brand in 2014.

We are Market Leaders....

We create innovative, ahead of trend health drinks and we are challenging the traditional market place by creating a 100% natural, zero sugar, zero calorie soft drinks.

We pride ourselves on making soft drinks that are naturally zero, deliciously flavoured and stylishly premium.

Key Information

Convertible Loan

The company has an outstanding convertible loan note from a previous raise on Seedrs - details of which can be found here: www.seedrs.com/skinny-tonic1. This will convert to equity if the company raises at least £1,749,140. This has not been factored into the pre-money valuation.

If the company doesn’t raise £1,749,140 then the convertible will not convert and will remain outstanding.
