This example follows a new pet supplies brand from trademark filing to month 12, with three months of setup before any sales. It turns a monthly profit in month 7 and is only modestly ahead on a cumulative basis by month 12.
Cumulative cash turns positive in M12 in this scenario. Profit is shown after platform fees, ads and an assumed management fee.
