SE8 EP07: The Power of a Brand-First Strategy: Our Journey After Acquiring an Amazon-First Business

On today’s episode is Kunle, Co-Founder of Octillion, an acquisition platform company of “clean” skincare, food, and beverage brands.

On his another solo podcast, Kunle reflects on things he had learned from September 2022, when his partner in Octillion, Ayo Disu came to the podcast as a guest. Kunle and Ayo talked about their plans for Octillion and their newly acquired brands at the time, Lean Caffeine and Clean & Pure.

Kunle bares the good, the bad, and the ugly in the process of growing a business or a company, from an investment that didn’t come through and to knowing more about their own company. They did process analysis, customer research, and finance which is building a good relationship with their banks and suppliers.

It’s an interesting episode as you’d hear Kunle talk more about what Octillion has been doing to grow, their in-depth look into Octillion and their acquired companies as well as its customer research and finance perspectives.
