Our Story
narrated by Sydney
Fall 2022 | Fresh out of high school, Ty and I were eager to start our next chapter at Georgia Tech. Ty was recruited to play football and started training right away that summer. As a Stamps President’s Scholar, I found myself eager to absorb all the knowledge I could while getting plugged into community. Neither of us knew the journey of entrepreneurship that lie ahead of us!
Winter 2023 | While playing football at Georgia Tech, Ty got into a routine of stacking multiple products to fuel his body and mind through a hard day of practice, classes, and workouts. This process became time consuming, inconvenient, and expensive. When he noticed his teammates were having similar experiences, Ty knew there had to be better way.
Spring 2024 | When he couldn’t find that ‘better way’ on the market, he knew it was time to create. When Ty brought his findings to me, a biomedical engineering major, I was immediately intrigued. From there, we hit the ground running, researching and ideating on a solution to this problem.
Summer 2024 | After collecting our ideas and discoveries, we partnered with an amazing manufacturing team that would help formulate and produce our product. What started as just an idea would soon be a tangible (and taste-able) reality!
Fall 2024 | We presented the first ever samples of DivineDrive at Georgia Tech CREATE-X Demo Day! The response was incredible and we had so much fun sharing our work with this amazing community.
Winter 2024 | With pre-orders freshly opened on our new website, Ty and I brought DivineDrive to events happening across Atlanta. We gained further validation in our concept and found our love for interacting with our customers, face to face.
Spring 2025 | In January of 2025, Ty and I applied to the Georgia Tech InVenture Prize, the institution’s renowned student innovation competition. After multiple rounds of selection, we were among 6 teams to compete in the final round, televised on PBS. After an exhilarating night, we went home with the People’s Choice Award, and celebrated with our incredible friends and family.
Summer 2025 | Riding the high of InVenture Prize, we continued to introduce DivineDrive to new audiences. This summer, our focus was on clearly defining our customer profile and brand identity, while making final iterations to the formula.
January 2026 | With production underway, we are closer to launch than ever and could not be more excited! As our story is continuing to write itself, we are so grateful for all of the support that has encouraged us to conquer every obstacle! The shop is now open and stay tuned on our social media for launch updates!
