For hundreds of years Mediterranean and Eastern cultures have served pureed fruit drinks that resemble what we call a Smoothie today. 100 years ago, Smoothies were basically unknown in the USA until Steve Poplawski invented the blender in 1922. Delicious fruit based beverages then became increasingly popular with the growth of the health food movement.

CUBO is a strong believer in that health movement and its one and only mission is to give convenient access to made to order Smoothies to as many people as possible! After 6 years of R&D, $2.5M invested by the founding team and 17 patents, CUBO came up with a top notch automated solution. CUBO answered that market call for an update, considering that Smoothies are still being made like they were in 1922…

The beautifully designed CUBO machine works in 3 simple steps. First, a CUBO Pod needs to be inserted in the machine. After selecting the size and the desired temperature of the Smoothie, simply by pressing Start on the touch screen, a perfect Smoothie will be ready in about 1 minute. The best part? The machine self-cleans in just 15 seconds and is ready to make another beverage. And…repeat!

What is CUBO’s secret and how does the magic work? Every CUBO machine has a Blender inside with no apparent blades, for safety, and only needs its tank to be filled with water and its cord to be plugged to electricity – the machine does the rest, including the cleaning. On top of Smoothies, it can also make hot beverages, such as Almond Matcha Lattes or soups – The possibilities are virtually unlimited.

CUBO’s Chef has worked hard at developing fruit based recipes and filling the CUBO pods with the best fruit purees harvested at the peak of their ripeness. Summer 2022 favorites are the “Berry Good Things” (Blueberry, Banana, Açai berry and Cranberry), The Carrot Terror booster juice (Orange, Carrot, Lemon, Ginger and Cayenne Pepper) and The high protein Greek Passion (Mango, Papaya, Passion Fruit, White Grape, Greek Yogurt, Ginger and Turmeric).

To be in line with its mission and being made available to as many people as possible, CUBO machines are currently being offered to businesses such as Co-working spaces, Gyms, Coffee places, Airport Lounges, … before they become available to individuals.

To support their market expansion and scale their offering, CUBO has opened their round of funding and just filed their Form C with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC). In their quest of being as inclusive as possible they have set their minimum investment to be $250.
