We’re pleased to announce a strategic partnership with L.A. Libations, a leading entrepreneurial beverage platform and brand incubator, alongside the appointment of its CEO and Co-Founder, Danny Stepper, to Axum’s Advisory Board.
The partnership expands the Axum Edge, giving our portfolio companies direct access to L.A. Libations’ expertise across brand strategy, commercialization, operations, retail expansion, and distribution. It’s the kind of operating support that turns a strong product into a lasting brand: sharper go-to-market execution, faster retail expansion, and a clearer path to scale.
Danny brings more than two decades of experience building value for organizations including The Coca-Cola Company, Disney, and Relativity Media. As CEO and Co-Founder of L.A. Libations, he has helped launch and scale a wave of health and wellness brands across North America, with deep relationships across retail, distribution, and the broader beverage ecosystem.
This partnership reflects where we’re focused: connecting founders with the right capital, operators, and commercial relationships to build category-leading consumer brands. Danny’s track record and network make him a strong addition as we continue building out the Axum Edge.
We’re excited to welcome Danny and deepen our relationship with the L.A. Libations team.
