Hosted by Branchfood & The Capital Network

Thinking about starting a business in the food space? Have a business and want to raise capital? Looking to grow but don’t know how? In many ways, it’s never been easier to start a food or beverage company. From products to services, marketplaces to mobile apps, the food space is HOT. While bootstrapping may be preferred, some businesses are almost impossible to launch and grow without capital. From angel investments to crowdfunding and debt financing, opportunities for funding seem endless.
Join Branchfood and The Capital Network for an evening with a veteran panel of investors, advisors, and entrepreneurs, who will compare and contrast the many ways you can fund your food and beverage startup. The discussion will address common questions including:
What are the best funding options for growing my business?
When should I go after external funding?
Does “no” mean “maybe later”?
How much money should I ask for?
If you are an entrepreneur, investor, or interested in business development related to food products, beverages, ecommerce, food tech, services, or consumer packaged goods, you do NOT want to miss this event!
