Jim DeCicco graduated Colgate University in 2015 and, just a few months later, teamed up with his two younger brothers to create the world’s first Super Coffee. Since then, Jim and his brothers have grown Kitu Life Inc. tremendously, raising $18 million in venture capital and getting the opportunity to pitch on ABC’s Shark Tank (where they received an offer but, ultimately, turned it down).

Kitu Life now has 20 full-time employees, and Jim’s role with the company has changed dramatically. Now CEO, he has transitioned from working in the company to working on the company; from making deliveries, stocking shelves, and sending invoices to leading a team of people who can do all of that even better.
