  • In 2019 at age 19, Alejandro Benlloch and Bruno Casanovas created Nude Project from their dorm rooms in Barcelona--and dropped out of school when the bootstrapped business took off. The men's and women's streetwear brand raked in nearly $30 million in revenue in 2023. A full-time staff of 130 operates seven stores and one pop-up across Spain, Italy and Portugal. Products sell online to 200 countries.

    Impressive growth for Nude Project, really shows the power of starting lean and scaling smart. Entrepreneurs should note how critical it is to understand unit economics early on; it's not just about the revenue but keeping customer acquisition costs lower than the lifetime value.

    i few months ago, a watched an episode of their podcast while they were interviewing the founder of GLOVO (the spanish Doordash) and the whole episode they promoted a beer called desnuda (nude in spanish), they didn´t look like they were managing a 30 million a year company, in fact, at the end of the episode a girl pitched her startup to them and the founder of GLOVO, and they were like "this idea is so good, but we dont have the money to invest" and let the founder of GLOVO put some money (allegedly). Its importan to mention, that in no point they mentioned a clothing brand, they spent the entire episode saying that they would like the desnuda beer to go big. Something looks a little bit off, but hope i´m wrong, good for them if the two companies are legit.

    • @alejandrogavilan9996
      @alejandrogavilan9996 3 месяца назад +2

      I don’t understand very good what is your point , Nude project is a clothing brand. Maybe the title of this video is a bit of a click bait , maybe the 30M they refer to is the volume of sales more than the revenue , you can sell 30M but have a lot of bills and things to pay so you end up having little to non profit , and this could be the case knowing they opened three or four stores in the past year , one in my city (Bilbao) . They promoted the desnuda cuz was a new product so that the People watching could know about the existence of the drink , the nude proyect brand was also promoted in that podcast as in all of the rest ones but in a more silent way, if you see the curtains at the back you could notice the name of the brand as well as in the tee shirts their using , it’s all over the place the name.

      ​@@janemisback2874The difficult part is finding capital and contacts to start the business, there are a lot of talented people out there, they probably even stole someone's idea. 800 thousand euros to start a business can do a lot, and with family contacts even more. If their parents are millionaires, why do they do interviews pretending they are working class? Then don't give me the bullshit about meritocracy. I was believing their talk until I opened the comment box.
