Ani Energy is announced on July 28, 2020 by Sway House members Josh Richards and Bryce Hall with TalentX executives and entrepreneurs Evan Burns and Daniel Fine, a 75 milligram caffeine drink launched in late September 2020 direct to consumer during the TikTok house boom. It reaches 400 Walmart stores by August 2021 after smaller retailers sold out, then fades within about two years without a national footprint, the rung that broke being the step from a first Walmart placement to sustained shelf sales, which Prime later managed with Congo Brands. The closure date is not confirmed in a retrieved source.

Open questions: No source confirms when Ani Energy stopped selling; the 2022 end year rests on the brand's silence rather than an announcement.
People: Josh Richards, Bryce Hall
