Strategic Partnership Search in R&D and Industry – Functional Beverage Project (ZENYA™)

Hello CFIN community,

My name is Jean Marie Mabaka Lusasu, founder of JMML Services Go2You Inc., based in Toronto.

I am currently developing ZENYA™, a range of clean-label functional beverages based on botanical ingredients such as hibiscus, baobab, ginger, rooibos, and guarana. The range includes three formulations addressing key consumer needs:

• Hydration (ZENYA PURE™)
• Natural energy (ZENYA BOOST™)
• Relaxation (ZENYA CALM™)

The project is currently in the R&D phase, in collaboration with a Canadian food innovation laboratory, focusing on:

• formulation optimization
• standardization of natural caffeine
• shelf-life stability
• regulatory compliance

What I am looking for

I am actively seeking strategic partners to support the next phase of development and commercialization, including:

• Beverage co-manufacturers (soft drinks, cans, and bottles)
• Industry partners able to act as R&D or commercial sponsors
• Ingredient suppliers (botanical extracts, natural sweeteners)
• Distribution partners for market pilot entry
• Potential collaborators for funding programs (OCI, PARI, CFIN, etc.)

Partnership vision

The goal is to build a collaborative and scalable beverage project combining:

• scientific validation (R&D)
• industrial capabilities (manufacturing and distribution)
• innovative product positioning (clean-label functional beverages)

This partnership could also support joint funding applications and accelerate time to market.

Let’s connect

If your organization is active in beverage manufacturing, food innovation, or functional ingredient development, I would be happy to discuss and explore collaboration opportunities.

Feel free to contact me by direct message or by courriel.

Thank you in advance,
