Deep dives
Thiracio's Demise Due to Lack of Brand Building
Thiracio's downfall, despite raising $3.4 billion, stemmed from their failure to focus on building strong brands. Instead of acquiring quality brands, Thiracio, along with other aggregators, prioritized businesses with high platform exposure over brand building. The key lesson highlighted was the importance of utilizing platform exposure to establish a brand by creating a loyal customer base who trusts the company's offerings.
The Shift Towards Building Brands for Long-Term Success
