Chris Stoikos pitches his manly subscription service to Marvin Liao, Howie Diamond and Ryan Hoover.
Dollar Beard Club is a Los Angeles based e-commerce startup that sells products to bearded men on a subscription basis. They have killer traction in the 4-months they’ve been live, built off the success of their YouTube videos gone viral. But is it an investable company? Listen to find out.
Guest investors
- Marvin Liao runs 500 Startups, a San Francisco based accelerator program that invests in seed deals and helps companies grow, reach product market fit, and find investors.
- Howie runs Ranch Ventures, a new VC firm investing at the seed stage.
- Ryan Hoover is the founder of Product Hunt and knows more about building a scalable consumer company than most, so we thought we’d get his take as well.
