Who Inspires Nik Sharma In The D2C World? #shorts #venturecapital

Who would you say some of your inspirations are both inside and outside the D2C world?

Inside the D2C world, I'm always most inspired by like bootstrappers, like people who built dope businesses without raising money. So people like Moise who started Native, people like the founders of Iconic, which is that art company out of LA. There's this company called Solawave, these 2 guys Andrew and Eli started, you know, that, that'll do well over 8 figures this year, bootstrapped. Those to me are like my biggest inspirations. Or like, you know, like HexClad even, which is, you know, they'll do 9 figures, well over 9 figures in revenue. Wow. Completely bootstrapped. Outside of D2C, I would say it's like the people who did something where they have no business doing it. I'm trying to think of names. I mean, Steve Jobs for sure, but like, I feel like everybody says Steve Jobs.
