Cloud Water Brands (CWB), the NYC-based beverage brand with a range of functional and wellness benefits, has announced the closing of $5 million as part of its Series A funding. This first part of the round was led by Don Lockton of The Lockton Companies, giving Cloud Water the ammunition to continue its rapid expansion across the country and to support recent wins in 7-Eleven, CVS, GoPuff, Mother’s Market, Sprouts and Walmart. The company plans to resume fundraising activities after this year to complete its Series A round.
