Description
Today, I'm joined by Danny Yeung, CEO of IM8.
Pivoting from diagnostics, parent company Prenetics has scaled its science-backed supplement brand co-founded with David Beckham to a $400M+ market cap with just two core SKUs.
In this episode, we discuss building IM8 from the ashes of a billion-dollar collapse.
We also cover:
- From billion-dollar IPO to $50M valuation in 18 months
