What's it costing you to not have a senior operator in your corner?

You're making expensive decisions with incomplete information. A wrong move on retail timing, co-packer selection, or channel strategy can cost you months and six figures. Most founders don't find out until it's too late.

The brands that move fastest don't have better ideas. They have better advice — from people who've already made those mistakes, at scale, with real money on the line.

"The founders who struggle aren't the ones who lack hustle. They're the ones who lack access to the right operators at the right moment."

Find Your C-Suite Operator

You don't need to hire a VP of Marketing, a Head of Retail, and a DTC lead. You need one senior operator who's done all of it — matched to what your brand actually needs right now.

🎯
Matched to your category and challenge We don't assign whoever's available. We match you based on your brand's specific stage, category, and the functional area where you need the most leverage.
🏗
Operators who've built at scale Every CPGFT advisor has founded, scaled, or led a real consumer brand. They've sat in the seat you're in — and made the calls you're trying to make.
🔗
Specialist access when you need it If the work calls for expertise outside your advisor's core — retail, supply chain, finance — we bring in the right specialist from our network.

Common questions

You'll be matched with one of the CPGFT operators based on your brand's category, stage, and primary challenge. Our team includes founders and operators who've scaled DTC brands, landed national retail, raised capital, and built 8-figure businesses in the CPG space.

Traditional consultants charge for frameworks and decks. Your Accelerate advisor has skin in the game — they've built what you're building and will tell you exactly what they'd do differently. You get async access, monthly working sessions, and a real relationship, not a scoped-and-billed project that ends when the retainer does.

After you're matched, your advisor conducts a full audit of your brand and channels in Month 1. From there, you'll align on the single most high-leverage project for the next 6 months — whether that's a retail go-to-market, a DTC channel rebuild, a supply chain overhaul, or something else entirely.

Real results in CPG don't happen in 30 days. Retail placements, brand repositioning, supply chain improvements — these take time to implement and measure. Six months gives us enough runway to scope, execute, and see results, not just hand you a plan.

Pricing ranges from $2,500 to $10,000/mo depending on the scope of engagement and hours needed. We'll discuss this during the application process and won't move forward until the scope and investment are aligned.

No — Growth membership is included in Accelerate. You don't need an existing membership to apply.

Accelerate is designed for brands that are generating revenue and have product-market fit to build on. If you're still pre-revenue or in early validation, our Growth membership is the better starting point.
