Brooks Powell of Cheers®
Brooks Powell is a graduate of Princeton University (’17) where he first started Cheers (formerly called Thrive+). Brooks earned the Tiger Entrepreneur Award (the highest award that an alumnus within 5 years of graduating can earn). Brooks completed a certificate program in entrepreneurship (the equivalent of a minor) and participated in Princeton’s Summer eLab Accelerator Program in both 2016 & 2017. While at Princeton, Brooks wrote a 100+ page junior paper (similar to a thesis) on “A Biblical Theology of Man’s Relationship to Matter: Using Alcohol as a Case Study Within the Biblical Narrative” and later gave a TEDxPrincetonU talk on “Taming Alcohol’s Dark Side”—which discussed the intersection of alcohol ethics and his brand of DHM-based products. Two years since graduating, Brooks has built Cheers into a $10m annual revenue business and partnered with Princeton and two equity holding Princeton biotech professors through sponsored research agreements (SRAs) to increase the bioavailability of DHM. Today, Brooks is listed as a co-inventor with various Princeton professors and post-docs on multiple licensable bioavailability patents.
