Description

She didn’t plan to build a Shopify brand. But a personal problem led to a product, and a product led to an 8-figure company — featured on Shark Tank.

Yve-Car Momperousse created Kreyol Essence out of necessity — and scaled it with pure hustle, purpose, and community. From importing castor oil in rum bottles to landing deals with Ulta and Whole Foods, this is a masterclass in bootstrapped brand building.

In this episode, Jim dives into the exact moments that helped Kreyol Essence break out — from scrappy product-market fit testing to the growth inflection Shark Tank created. If you’re growing a Shopify brand, this one’s a blueprint.

Topics We Cover:

  • The “hair loss” moment that launched Kreyol Essence
  • How to get traction with zero ad budget
  • Community-first growth: what actually works
  • What a Shark Tank feature does for traffic, retail, and team
  • Navigating growth when your brand outpaces your ops
