How it started

After failed startups, Jeremy sold his belongings, quit his job and bought a $2,000 van on Craigslist, posting on Twitter as VanMan. Swearing off fluoride, he brushed with baking soda and documented adding ingredients like eggshell powder; followers wanted to try it. He launched the tooth powder on Shopify, selling ~100 the first day, and grew through meme-driven, controversial Twitter marketing to $5M+ last year.
