Speaking
Claire speaks about building a business the market isn’t ready for, because she did it, scaled it, and ended it with the books open. No borrowed case studies. Her own.

Building a business the market isn’t ready for
The Hive opened Malaysia’s first zero-waste store before the demand curve existed. This talk is about opening a category early: the conviction it takes, the cost it carries, and how to tell the difference between early and wrong.

From founder to faculty: eight years of retail, taught back
