(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAgFunderNews reported David Protein reached a $2.25 billion valuation in Series B funding on a $250 million raise, and is noted as 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): in CPG, venture capital flows toward brands with measurable repeat purchase and clear path to margin. David Protein's valuation is not on product innovation—it's on customer retention and order frequency. If you own a food or nutrition brand, track your repeat-customer rate and customer acquisition cost. Build a simple model: (lifetime value) ÷ (customer acquisition cost). Once that ratio is above 3:1, you have something worth scaling. Talk to your first 50 customers by phone and ask what made them reorder. That's your growth lever.\nWhat that means for you: Protein is still eating. The CPG space is brutal—thin margins, shelf wars, consolidation everywhere. But David found velocity, held repeat customers, and built a unit that pencils. That's why they got the check. The move is not the product; it is the operational discipline behind the repeat.\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/CBMizAFBVV95cUxQb3JVOXhyNWc4MllqRHc1SjVCbWFrTnlSd201eUt6OE9UN1BWZW0ybDAxZm9TMTFnSjk5QWFDQS0ydndGZjFDNVJpeU9FeUxuWj.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
