When Ori left his previous VC funded tech startup, he was determined that his next company would be bootstrapped so he could control his own destiny. Ori co-founded Burlap & Barrel with Ethan Frisch, a single-origin spice company. They made sure the company was profitable from day 1 (without paying themselves). Initially they put all the money back into the company, doing consulting on the side and by year 3 they were able to start paying themselves completely from the company.
Listen to our conversation as we discuss the conscious choice to be profitable, how they found success with a unique value proposition selling “commodities”, and their upcoming expansion into retail.
