Validating a Supplement Brand – Looking to Interview Entrepreneurs

[imtramiam]

Hi everyone!

I’m a restaurant operations manager who’s actively building my way into entrepreneurship. I’ve been applying Fastlane principles by validating ideas before investing time and capital.

I’m in the early execution phase of building a wellness / supplement brand. Instead of guessing what the market wants, I’m doing real customer discovery before I invest further.

I chose the wellness/supplement space because, as a consumer, I’ve experienced how confusing, inconsistent, and trust-thin this industry is—and I believe that gap is an opportunity.

I’m looking to interview 5–10 entrepreneurs or experienced builders here to better understand:

• Your current relationship with supplements (if any)
• What you actually value in wellness products
• Where you think current brands miss the mark
• What would make a supplement worth sticking with long-term

This is not a pitch and nothing is being sold. I’m gathering real-world insight to validate (or kill) this idea the right way. The interview would be 10–15 minutes via Zoom or chat—whatever’s easiest for you.

If you’re open to helping, please reply here or DM me. I’d genuinely appreciate your perspective.

Thank you in advance
