Delainee and Madison — Co-Founders of Dirty

Our Story

From best friends
to Co-Founders.

How It Started

We made the first one for ourselves.

We've done pretty much everything together — competitive dance, dairy cattle shows, sorority rush, the same internship. So it tracks that we ended up starting a business together too.

It started in the break room. We were making dirty sodas for ourselves — just something to look forward to in the middle of the day. Then our coworkers wanted one. Then we couldn't stop thinking about it on the drive home.

Madison said it first: what if we actually did this? We've been running ever since.

Meet the Founders

The girls behind the drinks.

Delainee Fernandes — Co-Founder of Dirty

Co-Founder

Delainee Fernandes

Ag Business, fourth year, Tulare girl. I grew up dancing, showing dairy cattle in FFA, and doing anything competitive I could find. At Cal Poly I ran membership recruitment for AOII — which, it turns out, is basically a crash course in sales. Dirty is the thing I'm most proud of building.

Madison Andrade — Co-Founder of Dirty

Co-Founder

Madison Andrade

Ag Business with a Minor in Entrepreneurship — which feels appropriate. I'm from Visalia, grew up dancing and showing cattle, and came to Cal Poly with a goal to build something of my own. I didn't expect it to happen this fast or to taste this good.

What we're built on.

Three things we've never cut corners on.

01

Made to Order

You order it, we make it. Right then. No batches sitting around, no shortcuts. Every drink is the first one.

02

Community First

We're at the Thursday market every week. We show up for bid days, ranch pop-ups, backyard parties. If something is happening in SLO, we want to be there.

03

Every Drink, an Experience

The cream top matters. The cup matters. The way it looks when you hold it up matters. We care about the whole thing, not just the flavor.

See where we'll be this week.
