Questions worth asking

Most founders don't know what they don't know.

Tap any question that keeps you up at night and it goes straight into your intake form.

    These are just a few of the questions that can make or break a brand. If you can't answer all of them with confidence, that's okay. Nobody can at the start. That's exactly why my team and I are here.

    Get the answers

    Everything between
    the idea and the reorder.

    Hire me for one piece or the whole build. Most clients start with one problem and end up using three of these.

    01

    Branding

    Positioning, naming, brand voice and packaging direction built for the shelf and the scroll, not just the mood board.

    02

    Formulation

    Evidence-backed formulas for powders, capsules, gummies, RTDs and functional foods. Dosed for results, costed for margin.

    03

    Flavoring

    Flavor systems that win the second purchase: masking bitter actives, building signature profiles, running taste iterations to lock.

    04

    Sourcing & supply chain

    Vetted suppliers, manufacturers and co-packers, with the specs, COAs, MOQs, lead times and COGS control that let you grow without breaking your cash flow.

    05

    R&D

    New product pipelines, novel ingredient work and line extensions, from benchtop concept to production-ready spec.

    06

    Fulfillment & logistics

    3PL setup, DTC and Amazon fulfillment, retail routing and EDI, plus international freight for cross-border distribution.

    07

    Org infrastructure

    The operating system behind the brand: org design, hiring plans, SOPs, vendor management and the reporting to run it.

    08

    And more

    Retail buyer pitches, international distribution, ingredient licensing, partner deals. If it stands between you and the shelf, ask.

    From this to this

    From a pen sketch

    Every brand starts as an idea on paper. These are my original hand-drawn concept sketches for Bucked Up, and where that brand ended up.

    About

    Hi, I'm Jose.

    I've spent my career on both sides of the product: in the lab writing formulas, and in the COO seat making sure they could be made, shipped and sold. At Bucked Up I ran operations and formulation. Since then I've helped brands launch, land national retail from Walmart and GNC to Scheels and Bass Pro Shops, and expand into LATAM and the UK.

    Today I'm the founder of Beef Cakes, a partner at New Origin Labs, the company behind N.O.V8 and CreaCore, and I advise brands across supplements, functional food, fragrance and haircare.

    All of my consulting runs under RISE: Reyes International Solutions & Enterprises. One partner, the full playbook, from formula to shelf.

    Outside of work, I'm a devoted father to two beautiful daughters, Emilia and Olivia, or as they like to be called, Emi & Oli.
