Hint Water is an American beverage company based in San Francisco, California, as an alternative to soda and sugar beverages. It was started by former AOL employee Kara Goldin.

History

[edit]

Hint Water was developed in 2004[1] when its founder, Kara Goldin, was unhappy with the sugar and preservatives in her juices.[2] Goldin created the drink in her own home and sold it from her garage. She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when pregnant, which also led her to develop a sugar-free alternative drink.[3] Goldin left her job with AOL to become the CEO of Hint Water and later her husband, Theo Goldin, became the COO.[4][5]
