Joe & Bella has grown between 150% and 200% a year. But founder Jimmy Zollo is trying to answer a tricky question: how do you keep scaling an ecommerce business when cash, inventory and a three-person team are all finite?
Jimmy founded Joe & Bella after seeing his grandmother, who had advanced dementia and very limited mobility, spend more than 20 painful minutes getting dressed in her memory care community.
Today, the company makes adaptive clothing designed to make dressing faster, easier and safer for older adults. The product works, the business is growing, and the opportunity is huge. The question is where Jimmy should put his limited resources next.
In this live strategy session, we work through the business growth strategy behind Joe & Bella and find three areas that could potentially move the company forward without simply spending more money on advertising.
