Scaling from Scratch: The Power of Strategic Foresight for Young Entrepreneurs

The Harvest Growth Podcast

Today’s guest on the Harvest Growth Podcast is Gabriel Alba, a remarkable young inventor who started and scaled his business from his college dorm into an international brand with multiple innovative products. An MIT-trained mechanical engineer with a knack for invention, strategic foresight, resourcefulness, and a strong vision, Gabe’s foray into entrepreneurship has been demanding but rewarding. From manufacturing his products himself to setting up a factory in Mexico, Gabe has relied on strategic intelligence and foresight at every step. Now he joins Jon LaClare to reveal what that looks like. He explains why he opted for Mexico, the opportunities for outsourcing there, the brilliance of starting small or bootstrapping, and the benefits of keeping your manufacturing in-house. Join us as we dive into Gabe’s broader vision for innovation standards, how his hands-on approach helps his business, Riddia, grow, and how it may benefit your business.
In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:

• The strategic benefits of manufacturing in nearby Mexico, a hub of talented world-class engineers, and a more accessible manufacturing ecosystem.
• How manufacturing in Mexico improves your operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
• Why entrepreneurs should keep their manufacturing in-house.
