Our story
He did not read about coconuts.
He climbed the trees.
One founder. Two coconuts a day. A question that would not leave him alone.
Gaëtan. Founder.
The founder
Born in Europe. Lives in Hội An. Drinks two coconuts a day.
Gaëtan grew up in Europe dreaming of fresh coconuts the way most Europeans do. As something you earned by travelling far enough. The first sip on a beach, straight from a green coconut with a straw. Cold. Clean. Slightly sweet. Unlike anything sold in a carton back home.
He moved to Hội An. The morning coconut became the daily ritual. The energy drinks and sodas that used to sit on his desk disappeared. The coconut replaced them all.
The daily ritual
The coconut replaced the energy drinks. Years ago.
He climbed trees to pick them. Opened them by hand. Built a relationship with a dealer in the village. This is not a brand story invented in a meeting room. It is a lived obsession. By the time the idea of My KoKo showed up, the ritual had already been running for years.
The origin
Young Xiem. Ben Tre. The only one worth using.
The young Xiem coconut grows best in the Mekong Delta. Picked early. Sweeter than mature varieties. Higher in natural electrolytes. The only one we use, anywhere, ever. The day Gaëtan tasted his first one, the search for an alternative stopped.
The question
“Why can I have this every day, while my friends and family back in Europe cannot?”
Gaëtan. Hội An.
The obsession
We flew to the other side of the world.
Canton. A yellow crate full of coconuts. A local opener who had done it every day for forty years. We collected the raw material ourselves. Then we went to the lab.
What came out
A process that did not exist before we built it.
We pushed engineers outside every standard parameter they knew. We validated the output ourselves, blind, against a fresh coconut picked the same morning. We could not tell them apart.
Jenny. Co-founder.
The team
Jenny was there from the start.
Two hours on a motorbike to find a particular farm in Laos. Sitting on a tiled floor cleaning a hundred coconuts. Calling the Canton supplier at eleven at night because Brix readings were drifting. The story is a two-person story.
What is next
My KoKo is coming. Be part of it.
Bring the real coconut water experience to every home in Europe. Cold. Pure. Genuine. Every morning. Anywhere. The launch is close. The first people in get access at a founder price.
