CPG Founder Meetup

​Join us for our CPG Founder Meetup led by Djenaba Johnson-Jones  - Founder & CEO of Hudson Kitchen and host of The Food Means Business Podcast.

​This networking event is not about having awkward conversations or collecting business cards – the goal is to help CPG (consumer packaged goods) 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!
