Cannabis deserves a premium, experience-first brand.

HiTide is Shea Coakley’s entry into the THC-infused beverage space, built on the belief that cannabis consumption should feel elevated, social, and intentional. Rather than competing on potency or price, HiTide focuses on functional relaxation, community, and the evolving intersection of wellness and adult beverages.

Shea’s experience building consumer brands like LeanBox and Back Bay Roasters gives HiTide a unique advantage: a founder who understands how to create products that people genuinely reach for, not because of hype, but because the experience is worth repeating.

A private equity platform for better-for-you brands.

EverGreen is the private equity platform behind HiTide, focused on acquiring and scaling brands in the better-for-you and functional beverage category. Shea Coakley designed EverGreen as a vehicle to deploy capital into emerging cannabis and wellness brands that share a common thesis: quality products, authentic branding, and a focus on the consumer experience.

EverGreen reflects Shea’s evolution from operator to investor-operator — combining hands-on brand-building expertise with strategic capital deployment across a growing portfolio of functional wellness companies.
