This is why JMeter has SetUp Thread Groups:

A special type of ThreadGroup that can be utilized to perform Pre-Test Actions. The behavior of these threads is exactly like a normal Thread Group element. The difference is that these type of threads execute before the test proceeds to the executing of regular Thread Groups.

So change Thread Group1 into a SetUp Thread Group type, and then let Thread Group2 and Thread Group3 to run on parallel:

Test Plan (Run Thread Groups Consecutively is unchecked)
  setUp Thread Group (formerly Thread Group1)
  Thread Group2
  Thread Group3
