GTM3-1: Hacks to Extend Your Runway with Apologue Co-Founder Jordan Tepper (Season Premiere!)
In a down economy, runway is everything.
But it should also be everything in a boom economy.
Great companies figure out how to spend less, and make more.
Jordan Tepper cofounded the cocktail brand Apologue in 2017, and in the 7 years since he's achieved over $1M annual revenue, while raising just $2.5M in that time, and as of this writing still carrying $1M of that raise in the bank.
For a CPG brand with significant fixed expenses, Apologue's story is a clinic on meaningful growth and spend.
Jordan steps to the mic in our season premiere to share the specific hacks his team has employed to make the most of every dollar since day one.

This episode is also brought to you by our friends at AKAVA, the GOATs of software development. I've seen too many startups get screwed over by offshore or budget dev shops. Those groups are order takers and do the bare minimum, which often means software with gaping holes, or being forced to pay hidden 'release fees' to claim ownership of your code.
