When investing in stocks, investors should seek great businesses with a history of execution, or at least solid growth potential. A stock priced at $1,000 per share could be a bargain compared to one priced at $10 per share. Nonetheless, less mature businesses -- and those with greater growth potential -- tend to have more "affordable" share prices.

Here's why they chose enzyme engineer Codexis (NASDAQ: CDXS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) business Zuora (NYSE: ZUO), and up-and-coming apparel company Stitch Fix (NASDAQ: SFIX).
