Starting a business is always tricky. Launching a company in a completely new market niche is even trickier. But starting a business with family? That can be one of the riskiest moves of all. Unless you’re the Baumgarten brothers. Even before they launched PRO-Hydro Beverages, Mark and Alan have been looking for a way to work together.
