    01b / strategy evolution

    Counterfeiters hit his Tabs Chocolate brand ($11M in 18 months via viral TikTok UGC) → built the takedown tooling himself → launched Jan 2025 → $1M ARR in 60 days on founder-led content and his 50k-follower X audience, zero ads → replaced flat retainers with pay-per-takedown pricing. Note the shape: 139 subscriptions at ~$2.85k/mo average — a sales-led, high-ACV motion.

    Prior-brand credibility

    third-party

    The Tabs Chocolate story ($0→$11M via TikTok UGC) is the trust asset — the Bustem homepage leads with it, and the audience it built is where the launch demand came from.
