Great article! I loved the transparency. Will you be writing a follow-up post describing your launch process?

Definitely. We have benefited a lot from what others have made public and will do the same.

I've also been working on a post that breaks down some of the performance metrics we saw from our celebrity social media tests.

Yes, we worked on it for about a year bootstrapping. We ended up putting in about $50k between the three cofounders somewhere during that period of time.
