Initial vision: a natural mastitis remedy, with parallel potential in human health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From vet \u201choly grail\u201d to human skincare<\/strong><br \/>Even with strong acne clinical outcomes, large skincare players wouldn\u2019t license\u00a0without in\u2011market traction. The team launched Epiology\u00a0as a proof\u2011of\u2011concept\u00a0brand\u2014quickly discovering that brand building\u00a0is capital\u2011intensive and culturally different for a science\/engineering company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201cthree\u2011legged table\u201d became a \u201cthree\u2011headed monster\u201d<\/strong><br \/>Running China supplements, Epiology, and pharma\/vet mastitis\u00a0in parallel over\u2011stretched capital and focus. Each \u201chead\u201d needed cash and attention and believed it was the main act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>China distribution: cashflow and control risks<\/strong><br \/>A single, exclusive distributor\u00a0(brick\u2011and\u2011mortar focused, not category\u2011native) generated cash\u00a0but created ongoing control and compliance issues\u00a0(e.g., exaggerated claims, unintended government association).<br \/>Lesson: Be obsessive\u00a0about IP\/trademark control\u00a0and beware exclusivity\u00a0unless it\u2019s performance\u2011based and enforceable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>China capital is slow and relationship\u2011heavy<\/strong><br \/>Fundraising proved exceedingly slow\u00a0with many cycles of meetings and entertainments\u2014an inefficient path for a small NZ firm despite some brand benefit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>COVID exposed channel concentration<\/strong><br \/>Brick\u2011and\u2011mortar froze, online capability was missing, and revenue collapsed. The distributor was terminated; the rebuild began remotely\u00a0amid travel bans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote hiring pitfalls in China<\/strong><br \/>Small in\u2011market teams can drift culturally, become customer\u2011aligned vs company\u2011aligned, and be costly to exit\u00a0under local employment law. Budget for the real\u00a0costs of operating in\u2011market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Survival financing &amp; culture<\/strong><br \/>With bank debt\u00a0and no revenue, solvency became a daily\u00a0concern. Staff converted salaries to convertible notes, and a few shareholders kept injecting cash\u2014driven by values and belief more than short\u2011term logic.<br \/>Lesson: Survival is the first KPI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partner fit matters more than the cheque<\/strong><br \/>A potential buyer with poor business understanding was a bad fit. A major US dairy was values\u2011aligned and nearly a Joint Venture but hit internal roadblocks; integrity on both sides helped bridge to a later, accretive structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recap via IP portfolio surgery<\/strong><br \/>The team sold non\u2011core\/parked IP\u00a0to recapitalise, returned capital\u00a0to shareholders, and reinvested\u00a0in China with non\u2011exclusive partners\u00a0to avoid single\u2011channel dependency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From recovery to dividends &amp; disciplined growth<\/strong><br \/>Progressed to paying a dividend\u00a0without compromising growth.
