Scaling to $900M in Revenue, Hiring A Players & Building a Focused Business | Tim Cohen Fireside Chat13 Jul23 min

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Tim Cohen, founder and CEO of Eggs Unlimited, for a fireside chat on scaling a business to $900 million in annual revenue, building a culture of A players, staying laser focused on a core business, and what it really takes to grow from zero to industry leader.

Tim shares the unexpected turning point that launched Eggs Unlimited almost overnight, including why what felt like the worst day of his professional life became the best, and how relentless focus on one business - not ten - made all the difference.

The conversation dives into hiring standards, company culture, the dangers of diversification and vertical integration, cash management, goal-setting, and the mental models that separate businesses that scale from businesses that stall.

Topics covered include:

Scaling a business to $900M in annual revenue through extreme focus

Why A players are the single most important factor in any company's growth

The cost of relaxing your hiring standards under pressure

Building a culture that attracts and retains top talent

The diversification trap and when it kills momentum

Vertical integration risks for asset-light businesses

Cash reserves as a competitive weapon - not an afterthought

Setting and re-evaluating goals as your business evolves
