Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
My name is Nick Bare and I am the CEO of Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN). My brother, Preston, and I are the owners of the company that I started in 2012 out of a small college apartment in Western Pennsylvania. I was a junior in college, studying nutrition, while on an Army ROTC scholarship at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania when I decided there was no better time to take a massive risk in life - and at 22 years old I was the owner, founder, and only (updated) employee of BPN.
I started the company with a $20,000 loan from the bank, sourced a supplement manufacturer in the United States, formulated our first product, which was our pre-workout Flight, and launched the brand within 120 days of inception. After the first year of sales I was able to generate $20,000 in revenue from offering steep discounts and bugging all of my friends to try my supplements, and today (8 years later) we are generating over $20 million in annual revenue!
