1/ Growth → Resilience

"At my last venture-backed company, I had a 'growth at all costs' mindset—often making decisions that looked great for top-line growth but didn't build a rock-solid foundation. Looking back on our less-than-stellar exit, I see all the ways we could have built a more resilient company. So when we started Frank Darling, we knew we wanted to bootstrap it, make fiscally responsible decisions, and build a strong culture and organic foundation. The irony? We've grown faster than my last company ever did."
—KEGAN FISHER, cofounder and CEO, Frank Darling
