Why Fresko Is Different (Key Differentiators)

Multi-Vertical Synergy

Fresko is the only event that captures the full ecosystem of progressive living, what we eat, how we feel, how we live, and how we care for ourselves, our pets, and our planet. This cross-category approach drives unexpected connections and unlocks powerful collaboration.

Built for Cross-Pollination

Imagine a space where a gut-health snack startup meets a microbiome skincare brand, where pet-tech founders connect with home automation innovators and Ai, all driven by shared consumer trends and values. At Fresko, innovation doesn’t live in silos, it thrives through collision.

Startups x Retail x Media x Investors

We bring together the decision-makers that matter, retail, independents, hospitality, travel buyers, VCs and angel investors, industry media, and brand collaborators, all looking to discover and back the next wave of challenger brands.

For Sponsors: Be the Brand That Fuels the Future
