You can't call your team, they work for you. You can't call your investors, they're evaluating you. And your friends think a co-packer is a roommate. CPG FastTrack puts you in a small group of founders carrying the same weight: same stage, same stakes, same decisions landing this week.
Not ex-consultants or career advisors. Our coaches have raised capital, negotiated with buyers, survived bad co-packers, and scaled DTC brands to exits, and they'll tell you exactly what they'd do differently.
Not a generic entrepreneur network. Every session, resource, and connection is built around the specific challenges of taking a CPG brand from idea to shelf to scale.
Warm intros to buyers, investors, co-packers, and fellow founders, pre-vetted and contextual. The kind of relationships that change the trajectory of your brand.
Members from
Get placed into a curated small group of founders at a similar stage, navigating the same distribution, team-building, and capital challenges. Tight groups, real accountability, no BS.
A private network of founders who actually show up. No agency pitches, no lurking. Just founders sharing what's working, what failed, and the moves they wish they'd made sooner.
Live Q&As with founders who've raised, scaled, and exited real brands. Ask the question you can't google, not a canned keynote, but a real conversation with someone who's been exactly where you are.
Your own CPG operating partner. Scheduled sessions with coaches who've built and scaled real brands. Bring your real challenges, not sanitized talking points.
The right intro at the right time changes everything. We connect you with buyers, investors, co-packers, and fellow founders: warm, pre-vetted, and actually relevant to where your brand is right now.

We're selective. Here's who gets in.
The product sells. Now three retailers want you at once and you can fund two. Everyone has an opinion, nobody has your P&L. You need founders who made this exact call last year, not a course.
You're past $1M. Now it's a Kroger deduction nobody budgeted for and a term sheet you're not sure you want. The decisions got bigger and the room to be wrong got smaller. You need people who've signed these.
One brand built. Now it's a second line, a new channel, or an exit, and the answer sets up your next five years. You don't need tactics. You need people who've sat on the other side of that table.
Sessions are built around what CPG founders and operators are actually dealing with right now.
