(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDavid Protein reached a $2.25 billion valuation during its $250 million Series B funding round, per AgFunderNews, marking one of the fastest-growing CPG brands in America.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): Series B at this valuation means David Protein has likely proven a CAC payback of under 12 months and cohort repeat rate above 40%. Those are the two numbers private equity and growth funds use to calculate exit value. If you're a physical-product brand chasing venture, get those metrics locked before you pitch — they determine your multiple more than revenue does.\nWhat that means for you: David Protein is one of the rare CPG brands that actually scales profitably. The valuation on a Series B tells you the capital markets believe they can hit $500m revenue without blowing up unit economics. Most CPG brands collapse between $50m and $200m because they acquire customers at a cost they can never recover. David didn't.\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?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
