WE’RE IN COSTCO!!!!! 🛒

This one feels BIG.

Getting into Costco is hard. Starting **nationwide** is even harder. And we didn’t just bring an existing product to them. We created our biggest Hulken ever specifically for the Costco customer.

But the part we’re most proud of is everything it took to get here. Our team, factories, suppliers, production partners, QC, logistics, warehouse and so many people behind the scenes moved mountains to make this happen.

So naturally, we rented a party bus and took the team to see it on the floor for the first time 😂

And somehow, there’s MORE.

Our Carry-On Travel Tote is also launching at Costco this month. Different category. Different buyer. Completely separate pitch.

Two products. Two yeses. Nationwide.

We’re still processing this one. ❤️

We brought in an AI expert to help us figure out where AI could actually make Hulken run better.

He helped us clean up workflows, automate repetitive work, and make our team of fewer than 10 people much more efficient.

We put together a breakdown of what he helped us build, plus his contact info if you want to work with him too.

Comment “AI” and we’ll DM it to you. You’re welcome 😉 taken in Brooklyn, New York by @lee_rotenberg

Before you hire an agency, ask about their AI policy.

Customers can tell when AI wrote the email.

70% isn’t a magic number. But your margins need to leave you room to actually run the business.

Discounts. Wholesale. Affiliate commissions. Shipping. Returns. Collab royalties. Paid acquisition.

They all take a bite.

A product can look incredibly profitable on paper until you start layering in the actual costs of growing the brand.

The rule we use at Hulken: your margins need to work with your business model, not against it.

Because revenue is exciting. But revenue without enough margin can get expensive fast.

9 people. One very big year.. this year was so big that we are all.. tired. Will share more on that soon :)

We work remotely most of the year, so when the full team gets together in New York, we make it count.

This trip was about inventory, Q4, marketing, 2027 product launches… and making time for a little fun in between.

Building a brand with a small team means being incredibly clear on what matters, what doesn’t, and where everyone’s energy should go.

A little look at what we’re focused on right now 👆

And yes, we already know our 2027 numbers 🤯 taken in New York, New York by @lee_rotenberg

A dead summer month with barely any inventory, and this channel still drove $540K.

We pay $8.5K a month for it.
