Our Services


RTD beverages introduce additional technical considerations, including protein stability, flavor interactions, and processing tolerance. GVDNEXT helps teams navigate these complexities to build beverages designed for commercial production.


GVDNEXT approaches product development with a clear understanding of commercial realities. Every formulation decision is evaluated for its impact on scale, consistency, and long-term production viability.


Advisory Services


Food and beverage brands navigating product development, operations, and commercialization. Our work is designed to help teams move faster, reduce risk, and build products that are ready to scale.

Early formulation choices often determine whether a product will succeed or struggle at scale. GVDNEXT helps teams make informed decisions early, reducing technical risk and improving development efficiency.


Partner Founders

Brand teams, and investors to provide both strategic guidance and hands-on execution—tailored to each stage of growth.

Protein bars demand careful balance between nutrition, texture, and processing requirements. GVDNEXT applies structured formulation strategies to ensure products meet functional goals without compromising manufacturability.

GVDNEXT specializes in protein bar formulation and product development


Successful protein bars require more than good flavor. Ingredient interactions, texture, shelf life, and processing conditions all determine whether a product can scale. GVDNEXT applies formulation rigor early in development to ensure products are functional, manufacturable, and commercially viable.

Many products fail during scale-up due to decisions made too late in development. GVDNEXT helps teams avoid costly reformulations by designing with commercial production in mind from the start, aligning formulation strategy with operational and manufacturing realities.
