We're Crafting Superior Products for Everybutty.","story":"My name is\u0026nbsp;Gabriel Bogner\u0026nbsp;and my company\u0026nbsp;Butty\u0026nbsp;is the first personal care product company to help the 50M Americans dealing with anal issues and digestive\u0026nbsp;health problems. Consumers who suffer from anal issues often feel embarrassed and stigmatized, but Butty is on a mission to change that. Butty is my second company, the first was a venture backed healthcare startup I scaled, exited, and oversaw an acquisition for.My Crohn's Disease StoryThis is personal for me. I’ve battled severe Crohn’s disease for the past 14 years, losing over half of my digestive tract, including my entire colon, rectum, and part of my small intestine to Crohn's. I've had a total of 12 abdominal and anal surgeries, including living with an ileostomy bag for over 3 years. I currently have a Jpouch, but due to my lack of intestines I sometimes use the bathroom over 20 times a day, which can cause a tremendous amount of irritation and inflammation down there. Over the course of my disease progression, I've dealt with countless perianal issues like fissures, fistulas, abscesses, anal inflammation, butt burn, and hemorrhoids. I've had to rely on anal ointments everyday just to minimize the pain. These OTC solutions I've leaned on for symptom management leave much to be desired: they’re outdated, ineffective, unappealing, and the formulations are suboptimal. And in my journey for an all-in-one solution, I've realized although I'm an outlier with a severe case, I’m far from alone.I Know I Look Great in a Hospital GownAnd I'm more than just my diagnosis. The Butt Care Market is Massive and Completely UntappedOver 20M Americans suffer from perianal issues right now. A combined 48M Americans have either IBD or IBS.75% of people will experience hemorrhoids in their lifetime. 70% of sufferers never see a doctor due to embarrassment. 93% of people will have some type of butt problem at least once in their life.Butt Care is the Final Frontier of the Destigmatization EconomyYet with all this demand, the market is dominated by a single, outdated brand—Preparation H. That's because no one likes to talk about anal care, which has led to a lack of innovation in the space. But if the last 10 years have taught us anything, it's that consumers are ready and willing to talk about the issues that used to be considered taboo. Whether that's mental health, erectile dysfunction, menstruation, or hair loss, the destigmatization economy has boomed. We've seen a whole new crop of companies sprout up to tackle these issues head on. And butt care is the final frontier. Butty will be positioned as the missing piece of your skincare routine, safe for daily use and designed to be a preventative and a treatment. Anyone with a butt should be using Butty for a healthier behind. Butty is reimagining the anal care space and designing products that are superior to anything on the market today. And critically, Butty is more than its products, it’s a movement to normalize and elevate an area of personal care that doesn’t get enough attention.\u0026nbsp;What Makes Butty UniqueButty is an FDA-approved hemorrhoid + inflammation cream formulated to deliver superior results. Butty blends prescription-strength active pharmaceuticals with science-backed natural botanicals like chamomile, green tea, and the hero ingredient fucoidan–powerful seaweed extract known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor benefits. Butty's doctor-designed formulation is currently undergoing FDA testing to be approved as an over-the-counter medication. Once clearance is approved, Butty can begin selling the product. Butty's formulation will receive its FDA approval by 11/2025 with a subsequent anticipated launch of 12/2025.\u0026nbsp;Butty's GTM strategy is aimed at a primarily DTC-focused approach upon launch, meeting customers where they're spending most of their time - on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Google. Butty inherently has virality and with the founder's following on TikTok, he's already positioned as a powerful voice in this space. Butty's mission: to erase stigma, drive cultural conversation, and deliver best-in-class products.The Hero Ingredient: FucoidanFucoidan is the most powerful ingredient you've never heard of. A key innovation in Butty’s formulation, fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed species like Fucus vesiculosus and Undaria pinnatifida. Fucoidan has been extensively researched for its potent anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-regenerative properties. It's been used for years in advanced wound care and cancer research. Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, while also promoting angiogenesis and fibroblast activity — both essential for mucosal healing. These mechanisms make fucoidan uniquely suited for targeting anal inflammation, irritation, and tissue damage, especially in individuals with chronic conditions like IBD or hemorrhoids. Despite its therapeutic potential, fucoidan is virtually unheard of in the OTC personal care market. By integrating this advanced bioactive compound, Butty’s formulation delivers a scientifically superior and clinically relevant approach to perianal care, offering a genuine leap forward in efficacy and innovation.This Fundraise Will Ensure Butty's Successful Launch and FDA approvalWe hope you'll join us on this incredible journey to be a part of Butty's story. Butty has the potential to be a category leader and join the ranks of some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Your investment is going to help change the world and foster in a new wave of understanding and acceptance for those struggling with IBD and butt health. Butty Fits Right in Next to your Cleanser on the Bathroom Counter. The market for Butty is much larger than just those with inflammatory bowel disease. Butty was designed to be used as a treatment and a preventative, safe for everyday application. We're positioning Butty as an add-on to your existing bathroom routine. Our clean formula can be applied after using the toilet, after a shower, or just when you're feeling a little flare down there.Butty is a DTC Consumer Brand with the Assurance of Viral MomentsThe business model is simple, Butty is an e-commerce brand sold DTC on our website, Amazon, and TikTok shop. Eventually we plan to launch nationwide in retailers like Walgreens, CVS, Target, and more. Next time you're in one of those stores - checkout the butt care shelf. The only brand you'll see is Prep H. There's shelf space waiting to be filled and Butty is here to do just that. On top of that, the brand's virality potential is almost limitless. The puns and clever wordplay practically write themselves and we plan to lean into that heavily. TikTok is going to be a huge opportunity and content creation for that channel will be done by Gabriel. We're also going to bring on influencers and already have commitments from huge creators with tens of millions of followers. We Know There's Already Product Market FitThe Magic of Butts, We All Have OneFor years butts have taken root in popular culture. You can't walk down the street without seeing some type promotional butt. Yet, while we've been focusing on other people's butts, most people have been neglecting their own. And if anything, our butts are a predictor of health than our face is. We consume endless amounts of content about facial skincare routines and spend billions of dollars a year on it, but now it's time to put what's behind all of us first.Butty is Disrupting a Stale and overly Clinical Market with the Most Potent Hemorrhoid Cream Ever MadeNo one is doing it like Butty, formulated with the most effective pharmaceuticals to clinically target and reduce inflammation and hemorrhoids. Butty combines these ingredients with natural botanicals and seaweed extract to deliver the world's most effective hemorrhoid and anal inflammation ointment. And we're doing it wrapped in a fun, stigma-busting, engaging, modern brand. The other competitors fall into 3 categories: diaper rash creams, medicated ointments, or cosmetic formulations. Diaper rash creams don't have anything in their formulations that actually target inflammation, they are simply a barrier ointment, usually with zinc oxide. Medicated ointments like Prep H are old, overly clinical and don't have any natural ingredients to fight inflammation. The formulations usually contain witch hazel which has been clinically studied to dry out hemorrhoids, and that causes more harm than good. Cosmetic formulations like Asset don't contain any active pharmaceutical drugs and haven't gone through advanced testing to ensure efficacy. Butty is engaging, fun, FDA approved, and jam packed with natural anti-inflammatories and powerful pharmaceuticals. The Numbers Look Great tooButty's price per ounce is in the middle compared to our competitors, while still being considered a premium product. Prep H charges $11 per ounce, while Asset charges $112 per ounce. Butty will charge around $25 per ounce. The premium nature and push towards subscriptions gives Butty a solid margin. Ending the Stigma and LaunchingThe next few quarters are going to be busy, as we're going to be hard at work launching Butty and building a community of evangelists eager to make Butty fly off the shelves. The advocacy work Butty does is paramount to building a long-lasting impactful brand that's doing good for the world. The future is limitless for Butty and in a few years we will be climbing the ranks to Hims, Glossier, Dollar Shave Club, Drunk Elephant, and Vacation. Coming to a bathroom near you soon! ConclusionThis is more than a product — it’s a personal mission born from pain, perseverance, and the belief that no one should suffer in silence.

Butty is changing that — with real science, better design, and a bold voice leading the charge in a $5B+ overlooked market.
