Dog Supplement $650M Exit
Share
A story about a young entrepreneur who built and sold a successful dog supplement company.
Sam Parr shares: "One of the more successful people we met was this guy named AJ Patel, who is like 32 or 35. He started a dog supplement company, which whenever I hear about that I think that's the greatest thing ever. He originally sold a portion of the company at a $200 million valuation, and then a few years later sold it for $650 million in valuation.
He seemed pretty zen, like he had his act together, but still there were some things where he was trying to figure out what to do next. He had normal questions that everyone else had."
