About Kindred
Born from Kindred Spirits — a private WhatsApp group of independent drinks brand founders — Kindred Collective is where the industry comes together.
The Story
The independent drinks industry is full of incredible people — founders building brands from scratch, suppliers powering production, and creators pushing boundaries. But too often, they're working in isolation.
Kindred Spirits started as a WhatsApp group where a handful of brand owners could share supplier recommendations, swap production tips, and support each other. It grew organically because the need was real.
Kindred Collective is the next evolution — a dedicated platform where that community can thrive. A verified supplier directory, exclusive member events, partner discounts, and a member network all in one place.
What We Believe
Community First
We keep it invite-only to maintain quality and trust. Every member adds value to the network.
Knowledge Sharing
The best insights come from people who've been there. We make it easy to learn from each other.
Fair Partnerships
Suppliers and brands both benefit. Transparent reviews, verified relationships, and real connections.
