KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Beginning

My early experiences taught me that I needed a business partner to balance my creativity

I had a big student database and we used that to launch a daily deal for students.

As 2 guys we set up a company that was a success from day one with the first deal but we learnt that in the industry the expectations and reality are very different.

We learnt that we worked well together and that we wanted to work together and we had money in the bank.

It was a success because we were able to call it quits rather than be run into the ground.

Grabble

My business partner is very good at spotting trends and out next venture was ‘Grabble’ a social fashion platform. We curated the best of fashion in the UK and put it in an APP as personalised feed updated every day.

It was the intersection  of social, digital, mobile and personalisation. We quickly accrued a huge amount of credibility but monetisation was impossible, ultimately it imploded.

I ended my twenties having been on an amazing journey, meeting great people but unable to make the business work.

Dawn & Your Heights

The idea that you could eat for your brain first fascinated me, there is no logical negative to prioritizing your brain health.

It's so logical, your mind is part of your brain, you are looking after your mental health.

It makes sense that if you nourish your brain properly you will be able to alleviate symptoms

We want to build a holistic brand for the brain providing good health for the brain everyday

Taking high quality  supplements is an option if you are unable to meet the nutritional needs of your brain through your main diet and our first product is a multi-vitamin for the brain currently only available to our subscribers.

We will be exclusively direct to the customer. Our plan is to help the individual to achieve want they want, achieve their goals through a continued relationship, this defines and is our crucial point of differentiation.

We want people to start the day right and think about themselves on a daily basis.

Our mission is to elevate our tribe to achieve 1 million meaningful goals.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 ‘You are applying your creativity to providing things that can help people right now’

‘Science is massively underrated’

‘The ability to put something creative into the world every day fulfils the need I have’
