VENICE, CALIF. — Vive Organic, a manufacturer of cold-pressed wellness shots, has closed a $13 million Series B funding round led by Monogram Capital with participation by Cambridge SPG and Powerplant Ventures.

Founded in 2015 by chief executive officer Wyatt Taubman, chief operating officer Kyle Withycombe and vice president of sales JR Simich, Vive Organic offers a range of wellness shots formulated with a focus on boosting the immune system.
