Have you ever heard of a new startup idea and thought to yourself, "why didn't I think of that?"
Most of these "simple ideas" seem obvious when you first come across them, but what you don't see are all insights that lead to uncovering the perfect positioning.
Today, I'm talking with Robbie Salter. Robbie is the Founder and Co-CEO of Jupiter—a dandruff-fighting scalp care brand that doesn't look or act like one.
As it turns out, 75% of the world gets dandruff at some point in their lives. It's more common than acne! But dandruff is a stigmatized, ugly category, and what Robbie realized was that traditional brands were only focused on selling beauty.
There really weren't any brands that focused on both beauty AND scalp care, which left a major gap in the market to create something that would appeal to women.
So, Robbie and his partner formulated a holistic scalp care brand for people who want gorgeous hair without compromise.
In today's episode, you'll hear all about how they elevated a product that hadn't been innovated in 70 years!
