From $1M to $100M in 5 Years | Organifi Cofounder Djamel Bettahar
Want to launch a premium, high-margin consumable brand and work with us to bring it to market? Get on the waitlist for our next cohort:
► Capitalism.com Bootcamp: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp
I sat down with Djamel, the co-founder of Organifi, who grew a superfoods brand from $1 million to $100 million in about four years. We break down exactly how it happened: a premium, high-margin product, affiliates paid 75% commissions when the rest of the industry paid 5%, customer data poured into Facebook ads, and the team and systems that turned a scrappy launch into a nine-figure business. None of this was an accident. It was manufactured, and you get the whole playbook.
