About this Event
Founders & Funders: Roadshow shines a spotlight on the most relevant CPG investors in each region via a cross country tour. It’s a chance for brands to connect and learn in an intimate setting, with sampling opportunities for the most exciting products. Our first stop of 2026 is Los Angeles!
Our hope is to provide a warm, thoughtful environment to educate and connect brands and VCs in the early CPG ecosystem, and interested VCs will have the option to receive info on brands attending (summary of their revenue, traction, and fundraising).
Event Programming includes:
- Arrivals and Kick-Off Greeting
- 1:1 meetings between brands & investors (pre-selected prior to event date)
- Networking & Sampling (apply here)
- Panels & Remarks
- Light food & beverages
How the 1:1 Meetings Work:
Brands apply to attend, and investors review applications in advance to select who they want to meet with. If you're selected for a 1:1 meeting, you'll know there's already genuine interest before you sit down at the table.
Important: Application does not guarantee a 1:1 meeting. However, you'll still have valuable networking opportunities with investors throughout the event!
