Most of the D2C brands are either burning funding money or are profitable only with very unique product. Still why people are running to build consumer brands going D2C. Clothing mostly brands without differentiation will die soon when trying to scale. Health and food is low gross margin difficult to build a brand even for brands like the whole truth. Health and wellness comes with high CAC. What categories do you think is a good space to build a profitable bootstrapped brand? What about B2B saas, good money there why people aren’t focusing there?
