(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDavid Protein, noted as one of the fastest-growing CPG brands in America, raised $250m in Series B funding at a $2.25bn valuation, per AgFunderNews.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): protein and nutrition CPG brands are printing money on repeat subscriptions and high-margin refills. David Protein's valuation is a bet on recurring revenue from a captive base, not on viral growth. If you own a consumable brand (protein, supplements, snacks), your unit economics on repeat orders is your real equity. Build a dashboard: LTV by cohort, repeat order rate by month, and gross margin per repeat. The brands raising at 10x multiples are the ones that can show a 60%+ LTV/CAC ratio on year-two cohorts.\nWhat that means for you: Protein and CPG are the quiet money right now. David Protein didn't go viral — it built repeat customers who need to reorder every month. That's why it's worth $2.25bn and not $500m. Most founders chase viral. The ones building subscriptions to boring, essential products are the ones walking into a Series B without sweat. If you're in consumables, your moat is not the product; it's the subscription engine.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — AgFunderNews: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMizAFBVV95cUxQb3JVOXhyNWc4MllqRHc1SjVCbWFrTnlSd201eUt6OE9UN1BWZW0ybDAxZm9TMTFnSjk5QWFDQS0ydndGZjFDNVJpeU9FeUxuWjlfbEU5SUVrUmtZTU9LYWNCazZKV2R0Y1VhQ2d2WXlDa0pyczFXVjVVaEt1UjRQRFh1bC1TUk14Tkt4TEhRbFRwS1hlLXJTUGw2SE9ET2swcFpJYWtfeTdZUzA5RGpETWxxdW5OemppbnU5WU51cXVUazA0eF85YTJDaEg.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
