About Native
Founded 2015 · US
Moiz Ali launched Native after struggling to find an aluminium-free deodorant that actually worked. The brand was bootstrapped to $50M revenue in two years, then sold to Procter & Gamble in 2017 for $100M — at the time the fastest DTC exit on record. Native expanded into bodywash, shampoo, toothpaste under P&G ownership and remains profitable.
Public scale markers
Disclosed in filings, acquisitions or named press reporting — not estimates.
- 01Sold to P&G for $100M (2017)
- 02~$50M revenue at exit (2-year-old company)
- 03Now part of P&G personal-care portfolio
Notable for the llms.txt validator
Post-P&G acquisition, Native's stack is interesting because it's a DTC-native brand inside a CPG conglomerate's tech ecosystem. The storefront still feels Shopify-native rather than enterprise-grafted.

- Most links point at the same domainwarning
4/8 (50%) target www.nativecos.com.
- Root page is reachablewarning
Could not fetch the root (HTTP 503). LLMs cross-reference the homepage to validate the llms.txt context.
- Root page exposes Schema.org Organization JSON-LDrecommended

What this AI-search readiness signals
A D-grade llms.txt means the file exists but has structural problems — usually unparseable markdown, missing H1, or links that don't lead anywhere. These are common when a file gets hand-written without checking against the spec. Each finding ships with a copy-paste-ready markdown snippet on the live tool.
Cross-check with the Schema Audit — high-grade structured data + a clean llms.txt are the two pillars of AI-search visibility. Brands that win one tend to win the other.
