When I founded Myprotein, I used a £500 overdraft and a garage floor. In this episode, I discuss what I learnt during that time and my three key components to starting out. I also consider whether I believe the business would be as successful if it launched in today’s market, if I would have been able to bootstrap it, and which other sectors I’d look at if I was starting a new business in a post-Covid economy.
