5 years ago, I quit my job in print to start Hambi Media.

Since then, we’ve helped 150+ DTC brands scale to 7 and 8 figures and spent over £150M on creative. We leveraged:

1. Compelling performance creatives
2. Ad campaigns that drive leads and sales
3. High-production studio for ecom brands (in-house)
5. Landing pages designed to convert
5. Social media management expertise

The road wasn’t always easy.

Hambi is now almost 20 people and we’ve grown at 400% in the past year.

2 years ago, I also co-founded For You Advertising - the fastest growing TikTok agency.

We’re one of the only agencies in the UK officially partnered with TikTok.

10 months ago, we launched Club Neuro, the first functional lifestyle brand built for neurodivergent minds.

This week, we secured investment from Private ADHD and the Global ADHD Network, the UK's leading clinical group for ADHD and Autism.

..And today, we’re officially opening our £100k seed round.

If you’re an angel investor or operator in consumer, mental health, or DTC, this is a round worth seeing. Here's why:

When I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, I had that moment so many people experience: 
“Now what?”
No emotional support.
No trusted education.
No community to meet people like me.
No representation in culture or products.

ADHD diagnoses have risen by 400% since 2020, yet support and identity-driven brands are non-existent. That’s why I started Club Neuro, to empower, represent, and destigmatise neurodivergence through functional products, community, and education. 

We began with simple product drops and a private community on the back-end to validate the idea. Fully organic, no paid ads. 

Early traction includes:
• Our second drop selling out in 7 minutes
• 900+ active members in our private community (invited at point of purchase)
• 850+ orders fulfilled from 2 test drops (nearly all sales through organic)
• Our first paid in-person event sold out
• 300,000+ followers across social
• 103M+ organic views

People weren’t just buying apparel, they were buying belonging. Every purchase unlocked access to a private community with expert Q&As, lived-experience support, resources and connection.

But here’s the big shift. Our founding team has generated over $1Bn in revenue through Meta and managed $300M+ in ad spend for other brands. And yet we weren’t leaning into our unfair advantage. We weren’t building the kind of functional, benefit-led products that could scale predictably with paid media. So once the brand was validated, we pivoted. 

Over the past 6 months, we've been developing our hero product, the Club Neuro Stim Hoodie. This is the first functional sensory hoodie for neurodivergent adults and kids, co-built with thousands of survey responses and polls from our private community. 

It has subtle stress balls built into the sleeves, a hidden fidget-toy connector in the pocket, no itchy tags, weighted 100% cotton, and a design that actually looks good. 

Each hoodie purchase unlocks a private community space that converts buyers into repeat customers and long-term members. The product becomes the gateway to education, empowerment, and ongoing support. 

We have clear first-mover advantage. 
Backed by the UK’s leading ADHD clinical organisation, we’re building an ecosystem no competitor can copy. This is our moat.

If this interests you and you’d like to see the investment deck, send me a message and we can have a chat.

If you're not quite ready yet, I post daily content on here showing you how to do it yoursel

Founder

On paper, I look self made: 

- Started Kurogo at 20
- Entirely bootstrapped 
- No loan from mum and dad

 But in reality: 

- Parents never questioned me
- Mentors helped when they didn’t have to
- Friends liked my posts before anyone cared
- My first clients took a chance on a kid with no portfolio
- Teammates believed in the vision when it was just an idea

Every “self-made” story has invisible scaffolding: support, belief, opportunity.

Ps. Who's supported you recently?

Career advice to 18 year olds:

- Work for free to build your network
- Work for someone you admire
- Upskill in your spare time
- Do the apprenticeship
- Learn on the job

Just don’t think you need more knowledge to get started.

Ps. I speak to a lot of very rich people and they admire initiative. Show some.

7 ‘unscalable’ things I did to get from 0 → 1M revenue:

(I still do some of these today)

1. Took proposals at 3am 
2. Worked for free for my first clients
3. Wrote for and managed 20+ clients alone
4. Tailored every project to overdeliver for clients
5. Sent 100s of personalised looms to connections 
6. Shadowed an entrepreneur around London for free
7. Travelled to clients offices to deliver free in person trainings

If you’re just getting started:

Don’t worry about ‘systems’, ‘efficiency’ or ‘balance’
Worry about signing clients, delighting them and gathering xp. 

You can do the fancy stuff later. 

My approach:

Do what no one else will until you have the ability to do what no one else can. 

-- 

With me? Hit repost. You might just help a first-time entrepreneur.

PS. You ever done any of these?

2015: you won by being the best.
Today: you win by being the authority

You can have a great product…

But if no one knows you
If no one sees you as an expert
If no one trusts you

You’ll never get the credit you deserve.

(And there’s no nobility in being your industry’s ‘best kept secret’ btw)

So of course, ensure your product is good.
But please, ensure your presence is too.

How?

Leverage your senior team.

1. Pick your key profiles
2. Position them as industry experts
3. Optimise their profiles
4. Publish consistent thought leadership
5. Align content with wider marketing pushes

Within 1 month: momentum

After 3 months: recognition

Get to 6 months: authority, pipeline, leverage

Your senior team are your no. 1 marketing channel.

Get the exec personal brand blueprint here: https://lnkd.in/e_uXTgUK

Ps. Prediction: SLT will become the most effective marketing channel in 2026

2015: Few channels, trusting consumers, little competition

2025: Many channels, sceptical consumers, lots of competition

The same tired company campaigns that worked in 2015 don’t cut it now.

Consumers see through it.

Instead, they want to consume content from your people instead.

So turn your senior leaders into brand advocates:

1. Build personal positioning strategies that complement company messaging
2. Update their profiles (no more CV profiles!)
3. Publish content weekly (trends, opinions, predictions, stories)

3 steps and you’re ahead of 90% of your competitors.

Each one will reach, engage and build trust with 100,000s of people per month.

(Or you can stick to the 15 likes you’re getting on the company page)

Want to turn your senior team into brand advocates?

Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/e_uXTgUK

Ps. Hubspot nailing it. Anyone else you’ve seen doing this well?

I keep having to remind myself: 

- This is where I dreamt of being 5 years ago
- This is where I should enjoy the journey most 

But that’s tough to balance with ambition. 

So I’m reading this note daily.

(maybe) controversial advice to grads: 

Take the lower salary if the job will teach you more. 

A job that pays £2,000 less now but teaches you 10x more is worth an extra £200,000 over the next 10 years.
