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 next stop of 2026 is San Francisco!
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
- Panels & Remarks
- Light food & beverages
How the 1:1 Meetings Work:
You must buy a ticket to this event first in order for you to receive a one-pager submission link. Once submitted, investors review the one-pagers in advance to select who they want to meet with during the Roadshow. If you're selected for a 1:1 meeting, you'll know there's already genuine interest before you sit down at the table. Again, only folks with tickets to the event will have one pager forms sent to them and have these one pagers considered.
Important: One-pager submission does not guarantee a 1:1 meeting. However, you'll still have valuable networking opportunities with investors throughout the event!
Come meet investors from these firms (more coming):
- TSG Consumer Partners
- Rucker Investments
