Listing Type (?): Interesting Find

📸 Snapshot:
A direct-to-consumer CBD brand offering gummies and oils, with 500+ active subscribers and a 38% repeat customer rate.

  • 2.2x multiple is very reasonable given profit and recurring revenue

  • Business has grown to nearly $1M in sales without paid ads

  • Brand is clearly differentiated in a competitive space

⚠️ Risks / Challenges / Questions

  • NBA advisor likely won’t be involved post-sale — probably a personal connection

  • CBD businesses face ongoing platform restrictions on ads and banking

  • What drove recent growth — and is it repeatable?
