Connie Lo and Laura Thompson, Co-Founders of Three Ships, reflect on how financial discipline and intentional decision-making shaped their growth from the earliest days of the business. Launching from a home kitchen with limited resources, they learned quickly that tracking every dollar and staying close to their numbers was not optional.

Often underestimated as young founders, Connie and Laura resisted pressure to chase aggressive top-line growth, choosing instead to focus on profitability and long-term sustainability. Through candid reflections on confidence, fundraising, and finding advisors and financial partners who supported their approach, they share how financial clarity helped them scale thoughtfully—while staying true to their values and in control of their trajectory.
