Patrick Coddou: Founder and CEO of Supply.Co

Jan 3

Patrick Coddou is the CEO and Founder of SUPPLY, former engineer at Lockheed Martin, and Twitter influencer and fanatic.

While Patrick was an engineer, he found himself frustrated with razor options. He began a deep dive to discover that he wasn’t the only one who struggled to find a good razor. As he researched, he learned about a type of razor that was no longer manufactured but that worked brilliantly, and he decided he would make one. With his wife by his side, they started a Kickstarter to raise funds. After a few attempts at a product, Patrick found himself distracted, trying to raise a family while working full-time at Lockheed and trying to launch a direct to consumer brand and business. Knowing he didn’t want to regret not giving it a shot, he quit his job and threw himself wholly into creating SUPPLY. Throughout this time, Patrick was reading books and watching documentaries so that he could learn from people who had gone before him. While he built his business, he found people on Twitter who were in his field that he could learn from. Eventually, he began to share his insights about supply chain, manufacturing, and more on his Twitter and slowly gained a following. His understanding that other people empowered him to be where he is today may just be his hidden superpower.

Eventually, Patrick, his wife, and their team found success in the male grooming business to such an extent that Patrick and his wife sold SUPPLY in July of 2022. While Patrick still runs the company, he looks forward to his next steps, hoping to find a way to mentor and help others in the entrepreneurial realm. Throughout his story, Patrick shares his deep gratitude for each person who helped him along the way.
