NEW YORK, NY - (NewMediaWire) - June 27, 2024 - Accredited Solutions, Inc. (OTC: ASII) ("Accredited Solutions" or the "Company"), announces execution of MOU for distribution and strategic investment with search fund and start up incubator, Apokar Investment Group, LLC.   

The agreement calls for a progressive investment in marketing, distribution, and strategic sales efforts for its flagship alkaline water products, Diamond Creek Water.  

"As the interim management team, our primary mission was to rebuild trust with our suppliers, distributors, and, most importantly, our customers. Our ultimate goal, however, was to position the company for a seamless transition to a strategic partner with the expertise and networks to amplify our reach. This executed MOU lays the groundwork for a powerful alliance that will propel Diamond Creek Water to mass distribution far faster than we could achieve alone. We are thrilled about this partnership, not only for its potential to drive substantial growth for our subsidiary but also because it allows management to pursue other expansion opportunities, such as acquisitions and additional partnerships.  That’s where our efforts will now be focused on," said Eduardo Brito, CEO.

Apokar’s incubator support for this investment will include the leadership of Shawn Heitz as the Operating Partner.  Shawn has built scalable capabilities and delivered significant growth impact for some of the world's leading brands.  With his experience in finance & strategy leadership roles in public companies, private equity portfolio companies, and serving clients at McKinsey & Company, he is the right person for the job.  He was a key contributor to significant growth in enterprise value of Snyder’s-Lance snack company - including strategic growth support for brands such as Snyder’s of Hanover® pretzels, Lance® sandwich crackers, and Cape Cod® kettle chips. He has grown numerous privately-held brands from entrepreneur-level to mass market and is excited to support the next phase of growth of Diamond Creek Water.

“Partnering with Diamond Creek Water marks a significant milestone for Apokar Investment Group. We are excited to align our resources and expertise with such an innovative brand in the alkaline water market. This collaboration highlights our commitment to fostering growth and driving impactful outcomes as a search fund. Together, we are poised to unlock new opportunities and redefine standards in marketing, distribution, and strategic sales for the brand. Our shared vision and synergies position us for success, and we look forward to a prosperous journey ahead,” said John Wiesehan III, Managing Partner at Apokar Investment Group, LLC.
