Building a Sustainable Marketplace with Hive Brands Co-Founders Thomas Ellis and Katie Tyson (S8EP09)

Hive Brands Co-Founders Thomas Ellis and Katie Tyson discuss their experience building a startup company, the challenges they’ve faced and how their backgrounds individually led them to co-create Hive Brands. Prior to Hive Brands, Thomas and Katie were exposed to the startup world early-on and noticed the extreme challenges that came with building a scalable business model. With a combined desire to create positive impact, Thomas and Katie were driven to create a marketplace that directly aligned with consumer values. In the episode, Aaron, Thomas and Katie discuss the curated brands on the Hive Brand platform, the process of vetting these brands, and how the company’s “Hive Five” criteria was developed.
