** Behind The Scenes From West End Stage to Start-up Success: The AKT Lond=
on Story
------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.virginstartup.org/start-up-loans/?utm_source=3DVirgin+StartUp+=
Newsletter&utm_campaign=3Db57df10021-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_11_07_03_32_COPY_=

7df10021&mc_eid=3DUNIQID

Two West End musical performers had a sweaty problem and a big idea.

Ed Currie and Andy Coxon (above) spent years under bright stage lights=2C=
 frustrated by the lack of a deodorant that could keep up with their inten=
se schedules. Instead of accepting the status quo=2C they took the inspiri=
ng leap from stage to startup. The result is AKT London=2C an award-winnin=
g natural deodorant brand that=E2=80=99s as much about personal passion as=
 it is about practical problem-solving.

This is the story of their founder journey=2C how they built their brand=
=2C and how smart funding played a part in their success.


** From Stage Lights to a Bright Idea
------------------------------------------------------------

Ed and Andy met as castmates in London=E2=80=99s West End=2C performing ei=
ght shows a week in Beautiful =E2=80=93 The Carole King Musical. Night aft=
er night=2C heavy costumes and hot lights meant serious sweating=2C and no=
 natural deodorant on the market seemed to do the trick.

=E2=80=9CWe didn=E2=80=99t set out to make a company; we set out to make s=
omething that would work=2C because if they can put a man on the moon=2C t=
here can be a deodorant that will work=2C=E2=80=9D said Coxon.

That moment=2C born from a very real everyday problem=2C sparked the idea=
 for AKT. In spring 2020=2C as theatre stages went dark during the pandemi=
c=2C the two friends decided to bring their passion project to life.


** Three Years in the Making
------------------------------------------------------------

Turning that backstage problem into a product wasn=E2=80=99t an overnight=
 task. Ed started formulating a natural deodorant balm years earlier. With=
 only high-school biology and what he called =E2=80=9Cdetermined naivety=
=2C=E2=80=9D he spent three years mixing botanical ingredients on his kitc=
hen stovetop.

=E2=80=9CIt was never intended to be a business=2C I just wanted to solve=
 my own problem=2C=E2=80=9D Ed said.

By 2020=2C they finally had a formula that was both effective and clean=2C=
 and people who tried it loved it. That was the moment Ed and Andy realise=
d their homemade solution could become a business.


** Taking the Leap to Entrepreneurship
------------------------------------------------------------

When COVID-19 paused live performances=2C Ed and Andy focused on AKT full-=
time. But like many first-time founders=2C they hit a major hurdle early o=
n: funding.

=E2=80=9CWe didn=E2=80=99t have any money to start a company=2C we=E2=80=
=99re actors!=E2=80=9D Ed recalls. A mentor estimated they=E2=80=99d need=
 =C2=A315=2C000 just to get started.

With no savings and limited access to traditional loans=2C they launched a=
 Kickstarter campaign. The pair also went to Virgin StartUp for funding vi=
a a Start Up Loan=2C alongside some much needed business advice.


** A Community-Powered Launch
------------------------------------------------------------

Andy had an idea: leverage their theatre network. They made 1=2C000 deodor=
ant samples and personally delivered them to stage doors across the West E=
nd.

The campaign went live and hit its target within one hour.

By the end=2C they=E2=80=99d raised over =C2=A350=2C000. Their backstage c=
ommunity had become their first fans=2C advocates and customers.

=E2=80=9CEveryone talks about building communities=E2=80=A6 That=E2=80=99s=
 where we have succeeded the most=2C because people are invested in our st=
ory and us=2C=E2=80=9D Andy says.


** Building the Brand =E2=80=9CBorn to Perform=E2=80=9D
------------------------------------------------------------

At first=2C Ed and Andy avoided linking the brand too directly to their ac=
ting roots. But when a trademark issue forced a rebrand=2C they embraced i=
t.

AKT is a nod to =E2=80=9Cact=E2=80=9D=2C and their tagline =E2=80=9CBorn t=
o Perform=E2=80=9D references their stage-tested formula. Product scent na=
mes like =E2=80=9CAfter Thunder=E2=80=9D and packaging that mimics theatri=
cal design all point to their creative DNA.

=E2=80=9CWe now have a brand that we love and that represents us=2C=E2=80=
=9D says Ed.


** Bootstrapping to Business Growth
------------------------------------------------------------

From natural ingredients to plastic-free packaging and a premium brass app=
licator=2C AKT=E2=80=99s product experience is distinct. That=2C paired wi=
th glowing reviews=2C helped AKT take off.

Vogue UK named it the #1 deodorant. GQ called it =E2=80=9Cone of the best=
 deodorants of all time.=E2=80=9D

In 2021=2C they raised =C2=A31.5M to scale. In 2024=2C they secured $10M t=
o expand to new markets. Over 500=2C000 units sold=2C 8=2C000+ five-star r=
eviews=2C and 21 industry awards later =E2=80=94 the growth speaks for its=
elf.

AKT=E2=80=99s story proves you don=E2=80=99t need to be a business expert=
 to start. You need a problem worth solving=2C a community to rally around=
 it=2C and the persistence to keep going when things get hard.

d a big idea. </p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Ed C=
urrie and Andy Coxon (above) spent years under bright stage lights=2C frus=
trated by the lack of a deodorant that could keep up with their intense sc=
hedules. Instead of accepting the status quo=2C they took the inspiring le=
ap from stage to startup. The result is AKT London=2C an award-winning nat=
ural deodorant brand that=E2=80=99s as much about personal passion as it i=
s about practical problem-solving.</p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin=

lt their brand=2C and how smart funding played a part in their success.</p=
><h2><strong>From Stage Lights to a Bright Idea</strong></h2><p style=3D"m=
argin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Ed and Andy met as castmates in Lon=
don=E2=80=99s West End=2C performing eight shows a week in Beautiful =E2=
=80=93 The Carole King Musical. Night after night=2C heavy costumes and ho=
t lights meant serious sweating=2C and no natural deodorant on the market=
 seemed to do the trick.</p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 1=
0px;"><strong>=E2=80=9CWe didn=E2=80=99t set out to make a company; we set=
 out to make something that would work=2C because if they can put a man on=
 the moon=2C there can be a deodorant that will work=2C=E2=80=9D said Coxo=
n.</strong></p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">That mo=
ment=2C born from a very real everyday problem=2C sparked the idea for AKT=
=2E In spring 2020=2C as theatre stages went dark during the pandemic=2C the=
 two friends decided to bring their passion project to life.</p><h2><stron=
g>Three Years in the Making</strong></h2><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; mar=
gin-bottom: 10px;">Turning that backstage problem into a product wasn=E2=
=80=99t an overnight task. Ed started formulating a natural deodorant balm=
 years earlier. With only high-school biology and what he called <strong>=
=E2=80=9Cdetermined naivety=2C=E2=80=9D </strong>he spent three years mixi=
ng botanical ingredients on his kitchen stovetop.</p><p style=3D"margin-to=

e a business=2C I just wanted to solve my own problem=2C=E2=80=9D Ed said.=
</strong></p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">By 2020=
=2C they finally had a formula that was both effective and clean=2C and pe=
ople who tried it loved it. That was the moment Ed and Andy realised their=
 homemade solution could become a business.</p><h2><strong>Taking the Leap=
 to Entrepreneurship</strong></h2><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bot=
tom: 10px;">When COVID-19 paused live performances=2C Ed and Andy focused=
 on AKT full-time. But like many first-time founders=2C they hit a major h=
urdle early on: funding.</p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 1=

 they=E2=80=99d need =C2=A315=2C000 just to get started.</p><p style=3D"ma=
rgin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">With no savings and limited access t=
o traditional loans=2C they launched a Kickstarter campaign. The pair also=
 went to Virgin StartUp for funding via a Start Up Loan=2C alongside some=
 much needed business advice. </p><h2><strong>A Community-Powered Launch</=
strong></h2><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Andy had a=
n idea: leverage their theatre network. They made 1=2C000 deodorant sample=
s and personally delivered them to stage doors across the West End.</p><p=
 style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">The campaign went live a=
nd hit its target within one hour.</p><p style=3D"margin-top: 10px; margin=
