HiLine Coffee Company is a New York-based startup that sells affordable, high-quality coffee capsules compatible with the emerging Nespresso market. Launched July 4, 2013 by certified barista Gene Kakaulin and serial entrepreneur Ted Snyder, the company emphasizes quality from farm to cup and avoids celebrity spokespeople and expensive boutiques. It reports selling hundreds of thousands of coffee capsules per month to corporate customers such as Paddle8, Citi Bike, Tough Mudder, Samsung, Union Square Ventures, Plated, and Pixable. HiLine closed a $500k first round of financing backed by a group of private investors. The company intends to use the proceeds for product development and to expand its coffee selection.
