Empowering Founders in a Shifting Market
As capital markets tighten and investors grow more selective, many beverage founders are asking a tough question: how do you grow without giving away control? Felicia Gallagher, Founder of ThreeStone Solutions, has an answer — build smarter, not faster.
Her upcoming book, Built Not Borrowed: A Beverage Founder’s Blueprint to Financial Freedom, set to debut before the end of 2025, delivers that roadmap. Drawing on her decades of financial leadership, Gallagher distills the lessons that have helped her clients unlock over $200 million in capital and revenue expansion.
From Financial Strategist to Industry Voice
ThreeStone Solutions, Gallagher’s boutique strategic finance and fractional CFO firm, serves beverage and spirits founders navigating the complexities of growth. With an emphasis on financial clarity and values-driven decision-making, the firm’s success stems from Gallagher’s deep network and experience — including mentorship from Matt White and Kevin Foti of Linde Inc.
Her own professional milestones have earned recognition from Marquis Who’s Who, the Global Recognition Awards, and Titan Awards, establishing her as a leading voice in ethical finance.
A Framework for Purposeful Profit
Gallagher’s central philosophy — “The foundation of every lasting business isn’t capital but character” — challenges a culture obsessed with speed and valuation. Built Not Borrowed offers actionable frameworks for founders seeking to align purpose with profit, balancing ambition with sustainability.
As the beverage industry braces for another year of transformation, Gallagher’s message is simple but revolutionary: founders don’t need to borrow success from investors. With discipline, clarity, and conviction, they can build it.
