Oregon Angel Food 2021: BUILD

You have a product and passion. You also have questions – How do I work with a co-packer? How do I trademark my brand? What should my financial model look like as I grow? You’ll get access to top talent: successful local founders who have walked your path already, retail and specialty buyers and merchandisers, lawyers, financiers, investors, plus PR and marketing pros, all with deep food industry experience.

Best fit for:

• Food or beverage makers of all kinds, anywhere (mentors and resources focused on the PNW)
• Alcohol and CBD products accepted; no food tech or other F&B-adjacent
• Ideally post-revenue; product created and launched
• Desire to eventually build a regional/national brand
