Halfday Iced Tea
INVESTMENT DATE: June 2023
Halfday is a better-for-you, gut-healthy iced tea made with 8 grams of prebiotic fiber and only 3 grams of sugar. The company was founded after Kayvon Jahanbakhsh was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was a freshman in college. Losing over 80 pounds, he was forced to dramatically change his diet to focus on his gut health. It’s at that moment when Kayvon realized how difficult it was to find great-tasting products that would help him on this journey. That’s where the idea for Halfday prebiotic iced tea was born. Kayvon enlisted the help of classmate and best-friend Mike Lombardo to develop a gut-healthy iced tea that reminded them of the classics they grew up with.
