Iris Nova made a name for itself selling ready-to-drink functional lemon water by text message in a process founder Zak Normandin called “conversational commerce.” The company attracted the attention of Coca-Cola, which made a minority investment two and a half years ago.

Now he has his sights set on the alcohol beverage business, Normandin told BD in a recent interview.
