<div><div><p>WILMINGTON, Delaware, November 7th, 2024/Chainwire/--Rekt Brands Inc. (Rekt), the parent company behind the Rektguy NFT project, Rekt Drinks, and the Rekt brand intellectual property, is excited to announce the completion of a $1.5 million seed funding round.</p><p>Funded exclusively by angel investors and the community—without institutional venture capital—this achievement highlights the support Rekt received from its loyal and growing network.</p><p>This funding announcement follows the debut of <underline><a href="https://x.com/rektdrinks?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Rekt Drinks</a></underline>, Rekt’s first consumer product: a lime-flavored sparkling water with zero caffeine and zero alcohol, featuring the Rekt branding. Rekt Drinks made its debut last week with 222,456 units available across 32 countries.</p><p>The entire stock sold out in under 48 hours, with demand in the U.S. alone resulting in a complete sell-out within just 4 hours and 20 minutes. This launch represents one of the largest real-world product sales by a Web3 brand, reinforcing Rekt’s potential as a cultural force in both digital and traditional markets.</p><p>Rekt was founded from the success of the <underline><a href="https://rektguy.com/?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Rektguy</a></underline> NFT collection, created by artist <underline><a href="https://x.com/osf_rekt?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Ovie Faruq (OSF)</a></underline> in May 2022. Since then, the Rektguy project has expanded into Rekt Brands, which oversees the Rekt IP and pioneered a unique industry model by offering equity in the parent company directly to its NFT holders, utilizing a Reg CF exemption under SEC guidelines in the U.S.</p><blockquote><p>“Rekt has had a die-hard, cult-like community for the past 2 years, and our ambition is to fulfill its potential as one of the largest Web3 brands,” said OSF. “With the sell-out of our drinks last week, that’s 222,456 times someone is going to pick up a can with the Rekt logo and a Rektguy on it. It’s a magnitude higher for us in terms of brand awareness.”</p></blockquote><p>With this new funding, Rekt is poised to expand its product lineup, strengthen its brand awareness in and outside of Web3, while further bridging digital culture with physical consumer products.</p><p>The Rekt community remains at the heart of the brand’s mission, with upcoming projects that will continue to empower, engage, and reward its dedicated supporters.</p><h3>About Rekt</h3><p><underline><a href="https://x.com/rektbrands?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Rekt Brands Inc.</a></underline> is the parent company that owns the <underline><a href="https://rektguy.com/?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Rektguy</a></underline> NFT project, <underline><a href="https://rektdrinks.com/?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="nofollow">Rekt Drinks</a></underline>, and the Rekt brand intellectual property.
