Three founders pitch their business challenges to Nick Green, CEO of Thrive Market: a musician's concert attire brand balancing quality with speed, a mission-driven coffee company navigating sustainable growth, and an AI voice-cloning app for people with speech loss. Nick shares how scaling demands choosing what you do best, why mission and profit aren't zero-sum, and why awareness isn't your first problem—product-market fit is. Quality must imply scalability; focus on your hero products rather than every variation, then tell their story compellingly instead of chasing every SKU or customer segment.
