Hi - my friend is looking for an e-com founder/operator to take his DTC supplement brand from 7 to 8 figures. Generous equity. DM if you know anyone!

Any food scientists in here? Working on a supplement gummy

Looking for a CPG brand designer for a new project gummy supplement (like Gruns/Goli). Prefer freelancers/individuals over agencies for speed!

Hello, the team at Sperm Racing, a new sport raising awareness about male fertility, is looking for sponsors for their next event in October. Last event they had Nucleus Genomics, Superpower, Legacy, and Polymarket sponsor. This time around, they have much bigger racers - celebrities, actors, athletes, etc. that you’ve heard of. DM if you’re interested!

Agreed - there are many points against Founder Led Marketing too. Key man risk - Dave Portnoy vs Barstool; Yeezy vs Kanye - is the main one you highlighted

I’ve also seen these, current meta much more targeted at B2B

• https://www.storyarb.com/
• https://www.project33.io/
• https://www.rethoric.com/
Easier ROI for B2B, easier to ghostwrite (LI, X, newsletter, etc.) than do video/audio

Makes me think there is an opportunity for video/audio and DTC. Harder in a lot of ways, perhaps less ROI, but also harder to fake authenticity

Wasn’t this basically what @Tom Griffin did 🙂

#asks-offers-advice - April 14, 2025 at 04:58 PM

Terrific example

#asks-offers-advice - April 14, 2025 at 04:34 PM

Piggybacking off this post, I would say Founder-Led Marketing is one of the last ways for a brand to grow and differentiate itself that isn’t super saturated and where there aren’t clear playbooks yet. An example would be Blueprint Protocol / Bryan Johnson (where I worked).

• First, would you agree with my initial premise?
• Second, who are some other good examples of founders doing good Founder-Led Marketing? Could be podcasts, newsletter, short-form video, X, LinkedIn, etc. Could be wellness obviously but doesn’t need to be either.

Every channel/technology follows an S-curve in terms of adoption and subsequent alpha/returns before profits get competed away (See Thiel - Competition is for losers, or classic economics)

All channels are pretty saturated except for organic social, but it’s getting there as well. At least the TikTok algo is the most meritocratic (can go viral without followers/existing audience)

The result is you do have to work harder for the same or less. Good for consumers, bad for companies selling commoditized products
