Most B2B manufacturers are still running digital commerce on platforms someone built in-house a decade ago — and the cost to replace them has kept everyone frozen. ElasticPath CEO Bryan House is changing that math, and this conversation is the clearest explanation of why the B2B commerce market is the most underserved greenfield in enterprise software.

Bryan House is the CEO of ElasticPath, the composable commerce platform built for complex B2B use cases in the $50M–$500M GMV range. He scaled professional services through Acquia's IPO, served as Chief of Staff at Acquia, and invested in Molten — the composable commerce startup ElasticPath later acquired — before taking the helm as CEO.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Shopify is fundamentally a fintech company — and why that model collapses in the enterprise
• How ElasticPath handles 10,000 product variations and 1,500-product configurations that break every standard platform
• Bryan's "six weeks, $100K" goal for implementation — and how AI is making it achievable
• Why B2B companies with complex catalogs are the biggest untapped opportunity in digital commerce
• The hustle mindset framework Bryan uses to hire people who thrive in a dynamic, startup environment
• Why bringing a proven playbook from your last company is one of the most expensive hiring mistakes in the market
