REASONS TO INVEST
Led by CEO Chris Kanik, who recently won FOX’s Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, earning an investment of $250K. Our patented tech gained traction since launch & has been featured in Time Magazine, Forbes, FOX, & more
Our patented technology is the foundation for innovative products across a wide range of industries. Our B2B aspirations have already leapt forward starting with an R&D agreement with the U.S. Army.
The humanitarian and ecological implications of our technology are profound. With a just-add-water concept in a relatively empty cup, we can bring medicine and nutrition to emergency situations and significantly reduce the carbon footprint of liquid transport.

the pitch
For a Better Planet, Just Add Water.
At Smart Cups, we offer a revolutionary solution to the problem of excessive packaging and shipping waste associated with traditional liquid-based products. Our patented delivery system platform creates sustainable consumer packaged products by eliminating liquid through the use of novel microencapsulation printing.
We take liquid-based products (beverages, medicines, cocktails, meals) and reduce them to their non-liquid state. Then we encapsulate them in a plant-based shell that can be ‘printed’ onto almost any surface (not just cups) while also helping to preserve the product. This process significantly reduces shipping weight and packaging.
Once this shell comes into contact with liquid, it activates and releases the ingredients via a self-stirring process that is a result of perfect geometry. This transforms a virtually empty cup into a beverage, a perfectly dosed medicine, a nutritious meal, or a cocktail right before your eyes! The flavors and ingredients remain intact.
The success of our proof-of-concept energy drink line has paved the way for our focus on B2B operations, including toll labeling, co-manufacturing, and licensing. We'll be able to collaborate and innovate with established companies and their large distribution channels. Soon, Powered by Smart Cups Technology™ could power a wide array of products, from medications, humanitarian aid, mouthwash, military meals and beverages like margaritas, coffee and functional drinks.
If you are looking to invest in a company with vision, traction, and a mission to help people and the planet - please take a look at the detailed insights below.
*This statement is based on the Smart Cup’s research and third party reports, some examples available here (source, source, source)
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM
Shipping the Weight of Liquid is Toxic
The global transportation sector is a major source of pollution, emitting 8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2023 alone (source). Traditional liquid-based consumer products present particular environmental and practical challenges due to their shipping weight and space. In our opinion, it’s the shipping of liquid weight that is the most unnecessary waste of resources and the most unnecessary creation of carbon emissions (especially since there is perfectly good water at the final destination).
Did you know that one gallon (128 ounces) of water weighs over 8 pounds? A case of standard 12 ounce soda or energy drinks weighs just over one gallon. If you follow the math, just 10 cases of these drinks weigh approximately 80 pounds! It adds up fast and we are shipping this weight constantly around the world at a significant environmental cost. It’s time to invest in the future!
THE SMART CUPS SOLUTION
Ship 31X More Product in the Same Space
Our revolutionary packaging enables liquidless transportation of consumer packaged products, reducing carbon emissions. A study conducted by UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and authored by Professor Deepak Rajagopal underscores the profound impact of Smart Cups on beverage transportation, highlighting the unparalleled payload capacity that this innovative packaging technology provides.
The study's findings show that a single Class 6 or 7 beverage truck packed with Smart Cups can accommodate a staggering 21 times more beverage volume than PET bottles and 31 times than glass bottles.
Smart Cups printed on PLA cups, when paired with tap water, result in 20% less packaging materials than aluminum, 40% less than plastic, and an impressive 90% less than glass-based packaging.
This reduction in packaging translates into a 23% to 48% decrease in lifecycle primary energy and a 40% to 57% decrease in global warming potential. With biogenic carbon credit for landfilled PLA, the reductions reach an impressive 50% to 70%.
With your help, we can make a positive impact on our planet!
ABOUT SMART CUPS
We're a B2B Technology Company
We designed our 3-D printing technology to eliminate the need for shipping water, lowering shipping space and weight, saving costs, and reducing carbon footprints for liquid shipments. In our experience, there are many established companies out there who are actively looking to bring new, highly innovative eco-friendly products to market.
Our very first product, the World’s First Printed Beverage, is an energy drink, which was a proof of concept that demonstrated our proprietary technology and introduced it to the world. We’ve sold approximately $2.5 million of this product. But Smart Cups isn’t just about cups… we have the ability to use our proprietary technology to print on any surface - yes, ANY. From paper and aluminum, to candy bars, tortilla chips, and so much more. There are endless possibilities and we’re just getting started.
We are now well-positioned for toll manufacturing for some of the world’s biggest brands. Competing in existing industries with our own products (health, beverages, medicine, pet etc.) is NOT our goal. We want to be the technology INSIDE of truly innovative products from companies who already dominate their categories.
OUR TRACTION
Smart Cups is on the Move
Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars (WINNER): Our CEO (Chris Kanik) was the Season One winner of this popular show on FOX. This was the moment when the world heard about Smart Cups. Not only did Chris win a $250k investment from Gordon Ramsay, this milestone has also helped us to garner global recognition, amplifying our brand presence and market reach.
Strategic Partnership with the U.S. Army: The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center and Smart Cups have forged a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to explore Smart Cup's pioneering printing technology. This collaboration aims to explore innovative applications for Soldier rations and micronutrient delivery, leveraging Smart Cups' cutting-edge printing technology for enhanced performance and nutrition in military settings. This milestone partnership opens up exciting opportunities for future growth and innovation.
Unveiling at the Global Pet Expo: We recently introduced our line of printed pet bowls at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando in collaboration with our enterprise customer, Compana. This partnership marks the beginning of our new B2B business strategy for white labeling and licensing, setting the stage for a profitable year ahead.
Wall Street Journal: The Future of Everything Festival: We were honored to present Smart Cups at this exclusive event featuring some of the world’s most innovative and forward-thinking companies. Our products and imaginations were on full display including solutions for laundry detergents and even cocktails and wine!
Prestigious Recognition: Including Time Magazine’s Best 100 Innovations of the Year for 2021 and California Small Business of the Year as awarded by Senator Patricia Bates in 2020. We were recently announced as a semi-finalist in the coveted 2024 Pepperdine Most Fundable Companies Competition. We’ve also been featured in Forbes, ABC 7, and The Joe Rogan Podcast.
Well Positioned: We’ve built a portfolio of patents for our innovative technology that will keep our proprietary process protected for years to come. We’ve also raised over $11 million in funds previous to this campaign to help us grow our facility and our reach.WHAT DRIVES US
Humanitarian and Ecological Impact
Although we envision the words Powered by Smart Cups Technology™ being a staple of truly innovative products across many different industries and collaborations, at our heart it’s the humanitarian and ecological impacts of our technology that drive us everyday.
Imagine a shipping container full of efficiently stacked Smart Cups containing everything from perfectly dosed medicines, iodine water purifiers, and highly nutritious just-add-water meals going into a humanitarian disaster following a major traumatic event. As we mentioned earlier, we would be able to bring in 21x - 31x the amount of supplies than standard liquid-based products.
Envision the weight difference of that same shipping container that contains zero liquid-based products compared to a standard load. The amount of emissions required to move those products would be significantly less which would mean cleaner air for everyone.
This is the vision that drives us. If you can intuitively see the large-scale impact we’re trying to have on people and the planet, we hope that you’ll join us by becoming an owner.
CONCLUSION
A Word from Our CEO
“I would like to thank you for exploring our company. You made it to the bottom of the page. Hopefully it’s because our visions align. I know you have many options on StartEngine about where to invest your hard-earned money. We don’t take this investment campaign lightly. We’re here to make a significant positive impact on our planet but we can’t do it alone. We welcome as many people to become a part of our company as possible. Every investment (no matter the size) brings us closer to our goals.
With this raise, we plan to fulfill purchase orders, increase our strategic partnerships, continue product development and R&D, and grow our operational and leadership teams. Join us as we launch our truly sustainable and efficient technology for a cleaner, smarter future for our world.
If you would like to officially become a part of our journey as an owner of Smart Cups - we would love to have you onboard! It means the world to me that you’re considering this opportunity.”

Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.

Congratulations Mr Kanik on your new partnership. As an investor and consumer, the Company continues to position itself as a leader in a relatively new landscape. I’m very pleased with the progress. From a business prospective, any partnership comes with it expectations beyond the marketing blitz announcement. That being said, what is the impact going to be to the bottom line in terms of increased revenue and impact on ROI? Lastly did new partnership involve infusion of capital or stock? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

What does it cost to manufacture each cup? Lets say a company wants to order 10,000 cups for example with their product. What would it cost to make and what is markup to sell it to them? How much revenue does company have now?

Hi there! I've been following your updates/progress closely and am loving what I see so far! In sort of the same vein as one of the previous posters here, I was thinking it would be cool to come up with a few other medical ideas. First, as well as oral forms, would it be possible to print onto IV bags the exact amount of dried out ingredients for things like normal saline for IV bags? or even adding to that antibiotics for IV use? I'm an RN and I work with these a lot, seems like it'd be useful. Also, how about somehow printing IV TPN ingredients, or ingredients for nutrition through some sort of PEG tube for those who are not able to take anything by mouth? TPN for IV solutions? Lastly, I work with patients who can have things by mouth, but the liquid consistency needs to be a certain thickness (nectar-thick, honey-thick, etc.). Would this be doable? Nutrition for thought! Keep up the good work guys! Landrith

I’m responding to an e-mail requesting ideas for using this awesome patented technology. Having invested in two rounds (so far) I can say I am fully onboard with the direction you are heading. This morning like all mornings I had to add 17 grams of polyethylene glycol powder (MiraLAX) to my coffee. Some medication I take makes me add this to keep systems functioning normally. When I travel, especially backwoods, this daily dose can become problematic. Having it in some lightweight plastic cups, just waiting for me to add water, would simplify matters. Just a thought. Keep fighting the good fight.

FAQS
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
