1,500 competitors. Rejected on Shark Tank. Bootstrapped. Beardbrand should have failed a dozen times. But today, they're a massive success with obsessed customers and fans: 1) 392,000 subscribers on YouTube 2) National media attention from the New York Times, Men's Journal, Yahoo, and more 3) 121,000 followers on Instagram As a body care company that specializes in products for beards, you would think Beardbrand would be a small niche hit. It's the total opposite — at their height Beardbrand was making $20,000 per DAY. Seriously.
