Oktane Energy Announces Seed Round on WeFunder

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Toni Covington for Oktane Energy

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD (2025) — Oktane Energy, the Black and Veteran-owned brand shaking up the energy drink space, is proud to announce the launch of its first seed investment round on Wefunder. After just three years of rapid growth, the company is now inviting the public to invest and join its mission to deliver a clean, natural energy drink that fuels ambition without compromise.

Founded by husband-and-wife team ISupreme and Toni Covington, Oktane Energy was born out of a vision to create an energy drink that speaks to the health-conscious, purpose-driven consumer. With a bold brand, natural ingredients, and authentic community connection, Oktane has gained traction in a highly competitive market — and it’s only just getting started.

“We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but this next chapter is all about scale,” said ISupreme Watkins, co-founder of Oktane Energy. “We’ve bootstrapped the business for three years, and now we’re ready to bring our community along for the ride. We didn’t want to just go to big venture capital firms — we wanted to open this opportunity up to the people who’ve supported us since day one.”

Oktane’s product line features clean, refreshing energy drinks made with natural ingredients and no artificial preservatives. With growing retail interest, a passionate customer base, and a strong brand identity, Oktane is well-positioned to disrupt the $90 billion global energy drink market.

The Wefunder campaign allows everyday investors to support Oktane Energy’s next phase of growth, including expanded production, retail distribution, and marketing efforts. Supporters can invest for as little as $100 and receive equity in a company that’s building more than a beverage — it’s building a movement.

“This isn’t just about a drink,” said Toni Covington, co-founder of Oktane Energy. “It’s about representation, community, and building something that truly stands for wellness, ambition, and purpose.”
