SKU Selects Six Brands for its First Food and Beverage Cohort
The brands range from family-inspired baked goods to functional beverages
SKU, an accelerator for consumer-packaged goods (CPGs), selected six companies for the upcoming Food & Beverage Accelerator track. The six brands encompass a wide range of food and beverage brands, from the functional beverage brand, Leisure Project to the gourmet cookie brand, Wunderkeks, with each brand founded by family members, including a father and son to sisters. This is the first track in SKU’s history focused exclusively on Food & Beverage brands. The cohort includes Blue Norther, delOrigen, Growth Spurt, Leisure Project, RoRo’s Baking Company and Wunderkeks.
“SKU is on a mission to connect founders to CPG resources so they can create the household brands of tomorrow,” says Emily Kealey, managing director of SKU. “The SKU Food & Beverage 2023 is another example of this mission at work. We are excited to launch this cohort at Expo West 2023 and showcase each brand at our SKU booth. Through our mentors, partners and sponsors, our unique ecosystem gives us the opportunity to accelerate these founders so they can make a lasting change in the CPG industry."
