How it started

Oliver Brocato's friend sent him a viral TikTok (8M views) of a sex chocolate from a brand with no website or social presence. He spent a year building a premium version, designing packaging himself in Canva and Figma before using a designer and Chinese manufacturer, and drained his bank account (~$30K) to launch from his college apartment. Growth came from a mostly organic 'content machine' of creators and repost accounts posting hundreds of native-feeling TikToks daily; he has since exited Tabs and now builds Bustem.
