​This networking event is not about awkward conversations or collecting business cards—the goal is to help CPG food and beverage founders move their businesses forward by making meaningful connections.

Here's how it works:

Each founder (or aspiring founder) gets a few minutes to introduce themselves and make an ask — a recommendation for a new ingredient supplier, tips on fundraising, finding a co-founder, PR, or hiring the right talent, etc.

After the introductions, attendees can sample products, share recommendations, make introductions, or explore conversations around potential partnerships.

Come ready to share, receive, and engage in an atmosphere geared toward proactive networking and mutual growth!

Agenda

  • ​​Brief intro by Djenaba (5-10 mins)

  • ​​2-minute “I need support with” pitches (40-50 mins)

  • ​​Networking Mixer (45-60 mins)
