We're focusing on Lomi in this episode (B2C). I always get so many takeaways from talking to B2C startups that I can carry over into B2B, and that's why I love this convo. About Lomi: Founded: 2022 Funding: crowdfunding using Indiegogo ($7.2M!) and then got VC backed Description: electronic device which turn your food scraps, organic waste, compostable packaging and home bioplastics into compost (plant food); they've already shipped 20,000+ units In this episode: Why does story matter with your marketing; How to listen for the problem your customers actually want to hear about; What is marketing and why does it work; Why do superfans love Lomi and how do you further leverage that to create more superfans; What can B2B early stage startups learn from the way that Lomi approaches marketing; AMA - Brad asks me his burning question.
