I'm not talking about growth. I'm talking about building a sustainable business around a cool idea that outlives it's founders...

> I'm not talking about growth.

Then explain the meaning of these statements:

> it needs to scale to be sustainable

Growth.

> Their website says it takes 7 to 9 years on a pre order

Looks like they have more orders on the book than they are currently growing. They could grow!

> They need an MBA to go in there and shake things up.

They can only afford an MBA if they grow.

> And make sure there's a inventory of things people can buy now on their website.

Grow an inventory?
