Origin Story
Recoup started with a goal to help people feel better. We realized that everybody could use a bit of resilience, whether it was from a health issue, a hard workout, or a hard day. Co-founder Siwat Siengsanaoh had a tough first few years of life. He spent his first three years in the hospital and had undergone 10 major surgeries before his 12th birthday. His devoted mother would make him ginger concoctions to help with his digestion and overall recovery. These home remedies were the initial inspiration for recoup. Siwat experienced the benefits of ginger first-hand and wanted to create a product to help others fell better. He was working in the hospital where he grew up, and wanted to bring the remedies to life to help kids battling some of the same issues he faced. With a background in Applied Exercise Physiology from Columbia University and an MBA from Cornell University, he reviewed medical research and discovered that ginger has clinically-proven benefits including muscle recovery and digestion. From there he developed the first Recoup recipes in the tiny kitchen of his Manhattan studio. Co-founder Susan Buckwalter Hartman was introduced to Siwat by a mutual friend and fellow Cornell University MBA alum. Susan had been a college athlete competing in the Heptathlon (7 events in track and field.) As an avid athlete and outdoor enthusiast, she was fed up with functional drinks that were loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients. She wanted something that she could feel good about drinking after a yoga class or surf session. With a background in natural products and brand innovation, she saw an opportunity to disrupt the functional beverage space with a brand focused on "gut healthy hydration."
Together they developed Recoup with a mission to champion resilience for people and the planet.
