Application — Growth
Purity has 62,000+ reviews and a $50.00 Sampler Bundle built for first-timers. Together they can sell a first order.
Who I am
- Former COO of Tabs. Built its creator program to 100M monthly social impressions, and the paid ad engine alongside it.
- Founded Mainstreet, a consumer home-services platform: a team of 70, $25M raised (Greylock, Khosla, YC, Tim Ferriss). It failed.
- Before that: Quintessential Ventures, an early seat at a high-growth startup, and entrepreneur-in-residence at Prehype.
- I'm moving into growth specifically. The creative and top-of-funnel work is what I want to be doing every day.
What I noticed
- Purity Coffee Sampler Bundles cost $50.00 with 4 variants, built around 4 oz bags. That is a low-risk first order for someone unsure which roast to pick.
- Free shipping applies to US orders over $65, while Whole Bean Espresso is $30.00 and the Sampler Bundle $50.00. A single bag never reaches the line without a nudge.
- The Shining Star Travel Tumbler holds 4.9 from 14 reviews at $21.00. The brand number reads 62,000+ reviews, so ads should borrow the deep proof, not the thin one.
What I built
What I'd do here
- My KPI: scale ad spend, hold target CAC. Everything else follows from that. At Purity, the $30.00 bag and $50.00 sampler share one number.
- Week to week: launching a bunch of different experiments, losers killed early. Roast by roast, Flow, Ease, Protect, Balance and Calm each get a hook.
- Creators: home brewers pulling espresso shots, cold brew makers, and health-minded coffee drinkers, who can show the Sampler Bundle and the Founder's Roast.
- Reporting so you never have to ask. Daily CAC. Weekly what we learned. Monthly cohort payback, including subscribers who save up to 20%.
- Event tracking I'd spec and work through with your team. That part isn't me. Subscription and the $5 off first-order flow need clean events.

Creators come on two a week, ten live by week six. Each posts the same number of videos a week, so volume climbs from 14 to 70. New ads and landing pages follow the creators. Proposed.
Creator videos a week = creators live × videos per creator. Week 1: 0 × 7 = 0; Week 2: 2 × 7 = 14; Week 3: 4 × 7 = 28; Week 4: 6 × 7 = 42; Week 5: 8 × 7 = 56; Week 6: 10 × 7 = 70.
How I'd start
- Build a claims sheet from the brand's own wording on the antioxidant and purity-tested coffee, so every creator script stays inside it.
- Brief the first creators on the Sampler Bundle: five roasts in small bags, so each video can end on one pick by taste.
I'd love to chat if this makes sense. Grab a time here.
