In business school, it's common for college professors to assign semester-long projects where students have to start a business. And to be honest, most students never take this project beyond the final grade. However, Max Berg and his classmate Dave Goldman took this assignment and ran with it. In a world where you can literally customize everything, they couldn't help but ask, "why can't you create customized beer cans"? After all, that's what everyone's drinking in college. After creating custom cans for their families' Thanksgiving dinner, their families, especially the grandparents, just couldn't get enough. Heck, one grandparent was even stashing them away to hold onto the memory. That's when they realized the concept of custom can labels had staying power beyond the classroom. Today we are talking with Max, co-founder of ELIQS, a company that creates customizable beverages made for the moment. We discuss:

• Why custom drinks pair so well with weddings

• How they started by soaking Trader Joe's beer bottles in bathtubs

• And their partnerships with everyone from individuals to businesses including Mischief
