Mix 1, our title sponsor in 08, raises 6MM in funding

Hot off of the press release today. Hey, it takes a lot of $$$ to run a race team you know -;)

The Boulder company, which has 10 employees, will use the money to speed up its national expansion.

Mix1 raised $1.9 million in a first round of funding in June 2006.

The company describes its product as a "premium, all-natural, protein and antioxidant drink for busy Americans who struggle to find time to eat nutritiously throughout the day."

It comes in four flavors: mango, blueberry-vanilla, lime and mix berry. Among the places it's sold are Whole Foods and Wild Oats stores, King Soopers, City Market and QFC.

Dr. James Rouse, who gives health advice on KUSA (Channel 9), is a co- founder of the company.
