In this Coffee Nº5 episode, Lara Schmoisman sits down with Aaron Alpeter, founder of Izba, Sourcify, and Slotted, to break down the operational reality of scaling product-based businesses. From cash flow and supplier negotiations to packaging costs and operational flexibility, this episode explains why supply chain is a core growth driver—not a backend detail.

We'll talk about:

• What supply chain really is—and why it directly impacts your ability to scale
• Why cash flow and unit economics matter more than fundraising
• How to negotiate with suppliers and use payment terms as a growth lever
• The hidden costs of packaging, shipping, and storage
• Why flexibility and strong relationships matter more than optimization
