By now, you’ve already met Nevil—but who’s behind the mega‑owl, the myth, the soon‑to‑be‑legend?
Now that we’ve officially landed on major retail chain shelves, here’s the short of it.
A few years ago, friends Matt Schnarr, Dan Tzotzis and Adam Deremo decided to start a company — selling caffeinated chocolate.
Using their collective knowledge about consumer packaged goods (there really is no other palatable way to say that), and fueled by a strong entrepreneurial spirit — they each worked their tail feathers off, perfecting the taste, the packaging, and the plan to launch the brand.
On August 15th, 2012 they officially launched AWAKE in Canada. And so far, the response has been just what they were expecting — overwhelming!
