Description:
Dude Wipes’ potty-mouthed founders have already grabbed 1% of the $11 billion U.S. toilet paper market. Now the Mark Cuban-backed startup is aiming to swipe up to 10%.<br/><br/>Since starting Dude Products in 2011, Sean Riley, Ryan Meegan and a third cofounder, Jeff Klimkowski, childhood friends from the Chicago suburbs, have closely studied the trail left behind by “Big Toilet Paper” leaders like Kimberly Clark and Procter & Gamble – everything from the design of their newest rolls to their latest ad campaigns – and have done the exact opposite. <br/><br/>One of the most successful businesses in Shark Tank history, Dude Products rolled up $110 million in revenue last year, from $70 million in 2022. The company, which has been profitable since 2016, now makes up 1% of the $11 billion toilet paper industry. The founders predict Dude will do $500 million in annual sales within five years and ultimately grow into a $1 billion (sales) brand. <br/><br/>0:00 Who Are The Dudes?<br/>00:19 Meeting the Need for Something Different <br/>02:50 Characteristics of a Winning Team<br/>03:37 Scared Money Don’t Make Money<br/>04:29 Guerilla Marketing At Its Finest <br/>06:46 The Dudes’ First Major Deal <br/>07:22 The Shark Tank Effect <br/>09:28 The Great Toilet Shortage of 2020<br/>11:00 Flushing Out the Competition <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2024/05/17/this-shark-tank-winner-has-a-1-billion-plan-to-replace-toilet-paper/?sh=1b23fac62c17<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
