Scoring rationale
PASS at our stage — Liquid Death is a late-stage, mid-nine-figure-revenue brand far beyond pre-Series A scope, but the signals reinforce it as a category benchmark worth tracking. Amazon velocity is elite: soda-flavored sparkling water SKUs (B0FWGD1RDS, B0FWDXFHVV) hold BSR 32 in Grocery with a median 18% 30-day improvement, and the still water king-size sits at BSR 164. Brand-marketing flywheel remains best-in-class with 10 press hits in Feb–May 2026 including a Taylor Morrison home giveaway (PR Newswire, 3/31/26), LAFC partnership (2/19/26), and an AdExchanger incrementality feature (4/8/26). Track for benchmarking and LP storytelling, not as an investable lead.
Traction: 15 press · 30 ads · BSR Δ18% → 21/25
Authenticity: no IG + -4 Amazon reviews → 7/20
Capital: 0 funding press + 30 ads + $0/mo Amazon → 6/15
