Goxoa: The Perfect Alcohol-Free Beer for Athletes

Goxoa Sports Beer emerged from the founder’s personal experience of trying to enjoy a beer while maintaining athletic performance. “In France, alcohol-free beers didn’t offer the experience I was looking for as an athlete,” says the founder Jonathan Dubois. This challenge inspired Goxoa, a brand focused on delivering delicious, functional alcohol-free (AF) beers for athletes. “Goxoa means ‘delicious’ in Basque, and that’s exactly what we want to deliver,” he adds. As the first brand dedicated to athletes, Goxoa aims to redefine the AF beer market in France.

Goxoa

A Game-Changer for Active Lifestyles

The idea behind Goxoa Sports Beer was born out of necessity. “I struggled to balance my love for beer with my athletic lifestyle,” explains Jonathan. Athletes in France often avoided alcohol-free beers due to poor taste and a lack of relevance to their needs. Goxoa addresses these issues by creating functional beers that taste great and support recovery and performance. “We decided to create beers that offer the best taste and functional benefits for athletes,” says the founder, introducing a new niche in the French sports beverage market.

Marketing and Business Expertise Combined

Goxoa Sports Beer is powered by a skilled team of 10, combining marketing and business expertise. “Marcelo brings years of experience as a marketing director in the FMCG industry, a critical skill for a beverage brand,” shares the founder. With his experience in startups, finance, and business, he believes their combined strengths create a fast-paced, high-potential project. Operating from Montpellier and Madrid, Goxoa’s team is positioned to dominate the alcohol-free beer space for athletes across Europe.

The Best Alcohol-Free Beer for Athletes

Goxoa’s competitors may produce great-tasting AF beers, but they miss out on the functional benefits that athletes seek. “Athletic Brewing has a strong product, but it doesn’t fully serve the needs of athletes,” says the founder. Goxoa Sports Beer, on the other hand, focuses on providing athletes with both great taste and functional benefits, making it a more relevant choice. “We focus on giving athletes an enjoyable beer experience that supports their active lifestyle,” he adds.

Goxoa Sports Beer’s Explosive Growth

Despite being founded in 2022, Goxoa Sports Beer has experienced remarkable growth, selling over 100,000 units in just 12 months through more than 600 resellers. “There’s a real demand for functional alcohol-free beers for athletes,” the founder says. As Goxoa sets its sights on 2024, its goal is clear: “We want to flood the French sports market and become the go-to alcohol-free beer for athletes.”

Expanding the Market for Alcohol-Free Beers for Athletes

Looking to the future, Goxoa Sports Beer plans to dominate the French sports market in 2024 with its unique alcohol-free beer offering. “Our goal is to bring Goxoa to every athlete in France,” says the founder. Participating in SIAL Startup Village is a key part of their growth strategy, providing opportunities for strategic partnerships and investor support. “We expect to connect with key players who will help us scale and bring Goxoa to athletes across Europe,” he adds.

Last week, I spent three days at Bits and Pretzels in Munich — a startup-focused event with a distinctly Bavarian flavor. Think Oktoberfest meets startup conference, complete with dirndls, lederhosen, and more beer than you might expect. As someone building an AI-powered event platform, I went in with a specific mission: Observe how startups actually market themselves at events. Here’s what I discovered: GoodBytz: The power of good demos What they did: Robotics startup GoodBytz set up a booth where its robots prepared kaiserschmarrn (a traditional German dessert) all day long. Why it worked: Nothing beats seeing a product in action. While other booths had brochures and demos, GoodBytz’s robots were actually cooking. The smell, the movement and the end result stirred together an experience that people will remember and talk about. The lesson: If you have a physical product, show it in action. The old writing adage generalizes well: Show, don’t tell.  Let people see, hear and touch the product. WeRoad: The bathroom hack What they did: Posted “Missing Investor” flyers in bathroom stalls with QR codes pointing to their website. Why it worked: Pure genius. Every startup at the event was looking for investors, but the “Missing Investor” headline, while a bit on the nose, proved irresistible. Plus, bathroom stalls are one of the few places where people have 30 seconds to actually read something. The lesson: Think about where your target audience’s attention will remain undivided. Sometimes, the most effective marketing leverages the most unexpected places. Emqopter: Visual impact matters What they did: Designed a bright orange booth that displayed their drone prominently. Why it worked: In a sea of grey, white, beige and brown, Emqopter’s bright orange booth was impossible to overlook. The drone was real, too, and proved a real conversation starter. The lesson: Your booth is competing with hundreds of others. Make it visually distinctive and ensure your product is the hero. Quests: Community building using the product What they did: Created a busy, branded booth with accessories (toy car, traffic cones, a bulletin board) and used their anti-loneliness app to build communities among founders at the event. Why it worked: Quests used their product to solve a real problem right at the event, and the busy booth design generated energy and curiosity. The lesson: Use your product to solve a problem at the event — if it’s possible, of course. Demonstrate your value in real time. Dyno: Event-themed marketing What they did: Distributed branded electrolyte packs with the tagline “Your hangover ends. Your pension lasts – with Dyno.” Why it worked: Dyno aligned its messaging perfectly with the Oktoberfest theme. Every attendee was thinking about beer and hangovers, so Dyno’s goodies were quite relevant. The tagline was clever, memorable, and directly addressed a pain point most people at the event might have to deal with later. The lesson: Tailor your marketing to the event’s theme and culture. The more you tie your messaging and product to the context, the more memorable you become. So, what did I learn? Event marketing is about more than just showing up and setting up a booth; you have to understand your audience and create experiences that people will remember. Here’s what really struck me: most startups and even big companies don’t know how to leverage events properly. They book the booth, show up and hope for the best; maybe they bring some branded pens and a pop-up banner. Then they’ll go back home and wonder why they spent €5,000 in exchange for 50 business cards that never convert. The startups that stood out at Bits and Pretzels understand something fundamental: event ROI isn’t about booth size or location; it’s about strategy, creativity and planning. None of the startups above improvised on-site, or planned something the night before the event in their hotel rooms. They laid everything out 4-6 weeks before the event. A solid pre-event strategy is what separates successful event marketing from expensive booth rental.  But what matters most for early-stage startups is that you don’t need a massive budget to stand out. WeRoad’s bathroom stall hack probably cost €50 to print the flyers. A standard booth package at Bits and Pretzels would go for €3,000 to €5,500. The ROI difference is staggering when you compare the cost per meaningful conversation. That’s the difference between simply spending money and investing smartly. Building Sesamers has taught me that helping startups find the right events is only half the equation. The other half is helping them understand how to maximize ROI once they’re there. Good props aren’t a marketing expense; they’re opportunities to meet customers, investors and partners, and strike up engaging conversations.
