CALLING ALL FOOD & BEVERAGE FOUNDERS!

I’m super excited to announce the launch of Monthly Food & Bev Founder Meetups at the Shop!  Join me for real, honest conversation, advice and a safe place to ask questions. As a veteran of the food and beverage industry with almost 20 years experience working with retail, fast casual, grocery and specialty food brands, such as Whole Foods Market, Di Bruno Bros, Starbucks and Chipotle, I am passionate about amplifying local products and brands and helping to level the playing field for under-resourced and traditionally under-served founders.

These meetups are best suited for products that are already in production with paying customers and who are looking to scale - e.g. moving from a cottage kitchen to shared kitchen or co-packer, to update labels and packaging or get into brick and mortar and online retail outlets.

Bring your sell sheet for honest feedback, ask questions, get referrals for resources and advice from those that have been there, done that and/or are going through it right now. Each meeting will last approximately 2 hours and notes and shared resources will be provided to all attendees.

There’s no commitment to register for multiple sessions but space is limited, so please register to secure your seat for each month.
