They have their own opinions expressed by business partners.
When Danny Yong sat down for dinner with football legend David Beckham, there was no agenda. No pitch deck. Only two boys are talking to health.
They met a mutual friend in Hong Kong. Yong, CEO of Prittics, a Health Tech company specializing in genomics and diagnosis, wanted to make a brand of welfare in science. Beckham wanted a product that he could take every day without making a shelf -filled shelf.
As a result of this conversation, the IM8 was created, a supplement powder designed to support energy, intestinal health, immunity and attention. Within five months, it has sent more than 3 million servings to consumers in 31 countries. The growth has been remarkable. In its first complete quarter, the IM8 earned $ 7.7 million, which helped Printics increase its entire year's forecast from $ 80 to $ 100 million.
Backham's verification surely. Help. But Yong says the goal was not just a famous face on the box. He wanted to use both the founder and the athlete. Beckham takes the product daily. Her children take her. His parents also do.
Yong says, “If this product doesn't work, David didn't use it – nor will I do.” “We made it for ourselves before. Everything else came after that.”
Here is what Yong learned in the construction of the company.
Lesson 1: Start from Science
Yong says the majority of the supplement companies do the backward work. It first designs the brand and then sources the ingredients to fit at a particular price point. “They guide the logo and formula later,” he says. “It's not how he should work.”
IM8 overturned the process. Before the same package was developed, the company spent more than a year in developing a formula with scientists and doctors, many of whom had never previously contributed with the supplement brand.
“We approached him like a Biotic Company,” says Yong. “We had real clinical trials, real data. No one. “

Lesson 2: Transparency is not optional
With more than 200,000 supplements in the market and very few federal surveillance, many consumers are wisely skeptical. “You can sell dust and call it protein. This is legal. This is a fact.”
The IM8 tries to counter it with full transparency. The formula contains more than 90 ingredients, including COQ10, pre -biotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. This is a NSF certified for the game. Lab test results are published online. And the company publicly names its manufacturing partner.
Lesson 3: Keep it easy
Beckham wanted less bullets in his daily routine. The idea behind the IM8 Daily final accessories The completion was to make it easy: once a day, once, meets numerous health needs.
This brand is intended to expand, but only with some highly usable products every year. Yong emphasizes higher quality than speed.
“We are not a company that wants to launch 50 different products. We want to focus very well on some tasks. If we do not think that there is something excellent in the class, we will not do it.”
Yong is leading the same mindset. Prittics has had an active conversation with veterans of the Crypto Industry to integrate Bitcoin into its Treasury Strategy.

Lesson 4: A celebrity partner can't fix the bad product
Yong says many founders seek the attention of celebrity partners to look for the attention of the celebrity partners, not to create the power of stay. He says, “I just didn't want to be another celebrity brand. We have seen many of them.”
That is why he did not pick up Beckham on any business. They met at dinner. Science of talk. Changed health routines. “It was not a transaction,” says Yong. “These two men were finding out if they believed in the same thing.”
Yong believes that Beckham was not involved only because of business opportunities, but because he believes in science.
He has been involved in the process, reviewing the product repetition, offers feedback about packaging, and flagging the reaction of the initial consumer.
Lesson 5: will have to earn trust
You can put a famous face on your brand, but if it doesn't work, you won't last. “People know that when there is a reality,” they say. “You can't make it fake.”
Yong has called the IM8 “Trust Product”. Consumers are putting it into their bodies every day, and the responsibility is how the business operates.
A 12 -week clinical study of this brand shows that 95 % of participants have reported more stimulated. Customer retaining is strong. Yang says opinion has been more meaningful than any marketing matriculation.
“If people are putting it into their bodies every day, you will recover it better.”
