Jacob Schlesinger has spent more than three decades working alongside founder-led companies as they grow from their first million in revenue to $100 million and beyond. His career has been built in the trenches of real operating businesses, not in theory. He has helped companies scale across construction, manufacturing, distribution, and facilities management, focusing on the systems, capital discipline, and operational structure required to turn growth into durable enterprise value.Throughout his career, Jacob has built and scaled businesses from zero to hundreds of millions in revenue. His approach is grounded in execution, financial clarity, and the belief that expansion must be earned through operational mastery.He continues to advise growth-stage companies on capital strategy, organizational design, and disciplined scale.For speaking engagements, advisory inquiries, or to connect directly: www.zeroto100.net
""I've read a lot of scaling books. Most are theory with a thin coat of practicality. This one reads like it was written by someone who has sat in the seat. The chapter on decision authority alone changed how I structure my leadership team. Our operating rhythm went from reactive to disciplined, and the results followed."" MA Michael Alvarez Founder & CEO, Industrial Services Company ($42M Revenue) ""What stands out in Zero to $100M is Schlesinger understands that scaling is not a strategy problem - it's a systems and discipline problem. The diagnostic frameworks in this book map directly to what we look at in diligence. Founders who work through this before they need to will be in a different position than those who don't."" DW Dana K. Whitmore Operating Partner, Lower Middle Market Private Equity ""I inherited a $12M family manufacturing business that had been running the same way for fifteen years. Profitable, but stuck. The sections on leadership layers and cash discipline were the ones I needed most - and the hardest to read honestly. This book doesn't flatter you. It's more useful than that."" EG Ethan Goldberg President, Regional Manufacturing Group ""Most founders underestimate what has to change organizationally between $5M and $50M. Schlesinger lays that transition out clearly. This is not a book about tactics. It is a book about the infrastructure that makes growth sustainable."" LC Laura Chen Independent Director & Former Public Company CFO ""Most growth conversations focus on the top line and gloss over the financial architecture underneath it. This book doesn't. The sections on cash velocity, working capital, and operating leverage are the kind of material I wish more operators had read before they needed it. I've already passed it along to several people."" RH Rebecca L. Hartman Chief Financial Officer, Regional Distribution Group ""We scaled from $8M to $110M over seven years and made most of these mistakes ourselves. Reading this felt like a post-mortem on the hard parts. The frameworks around people, process, and decision authority would have cut years off the learning curve. This is not motivational - it's practical."" TC Thomas J. Calder Founder & Executive Chairman, Construction Services Group
