That makes sense. Could you share with how exactly did you make the money - what were you offering before?

I just approached a few brick and mortar stores and offered to open up a new sales channel (their existing customer acquisition channel was basically having a store front and then staring into space, so was not hard to beat)

I offered a "I make money only if you make money" pitch. Sold their wares via Facebook and WhatsApp and then took a huge markup from those sales.

Nicely done. I'd suggest not taking an investor though unless you are really having trouble with scaling.
