@kenmoeloic1 Are you whitelisting for TOF and BOF?

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@Codie_Sanchez Built our brand Chili Chews with $5k, completely bootstrapped to seven figures with paid then scaled in retail to thousands of doors.

This would not be possible without launching with paid ads.

@Seanfrank Is it meant to be a kids brand or family? It’s skewing kids rn with the branding

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@codyplof We’re in 4 of those stores!

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@MaxMulvihil Forced to make a better product that people don’t want to unsub from.

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@Bbruhis It just takes a long time and you need to make sure you are working with the right retail partners. Target is awesome - you just have to make sure you can push velocity bc you may not get another chance.

@binghott Claude/Codex/Hermes - whatever agent you use.

@mannybarbas_ Congrats!

@Seanfrank Everything from GPT is awesome first week. Then it slowly gets throttled

@hungv47 @PaulNiklas8 @nicksaraev I second this

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@MaxMulvihil Seems to be a winning formula for Target brands. I think this one will crush if they can keep engagement like Joyride

@theperryecom As a designer myself - don’t pay for a logo.
Figure out the brand world which will dictate branding assets.

@PaulNiklas8 You learn to crave it.

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@codyplof That’s AI in general. We can literally make anything but we’re stuck making the same claymation.

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@marshal Separate issue but an airline that had a single flowing checkout page (like buying a Tesla) with an MCP so you can plan multi city trips better would be a game changer! Clear luggage / extras price way before the checkout.

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@BenjaminDEKR You’d need a decent team just constantly iterating until clips look right. I think it’s possible but definitely not $50k

[Emilio D'Angelo @emiliodangelo]

@vivaangandhi_ I use both Kie and Higgsfield.
Higgs is free nano banana pro for testing concepts and interface.

Kie for automation thru Claude code

@FedotOff90 These are gross lol
