While coffee remains at the heart of the business, The Coffee Veteran looks forward to expanding into teas, matcha, and other coffee-related products. This diversification will cater to a broader audience while staying true to the brand’s ethos. -
Collaborative Partnerships:
Recognizing the power of collaboration, the company is seeking partnerships with organizations willing to fund its low monthly operating costs in exchange for equity. This strategic move will provide stability and enable the brand to focus on its core mission. -
