Co-founder at Poppi

Revenue: Approx. $42 Million/month
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

We found that giving equity turned influencers into authentic owners who advocated for the brand. Our early advisory agreement with Olivia Munn showed us she would post about Poppi on vacation because she felt part of our journey. We structured a similar, highly successful deal with TikTok star Alex Earle.
