Tonight, we welcomed @mitchjacobsen_, Founder & CEO of @rviitalize, to our Incubator Roundtable.

Mitch shared his journey to market, not the glamorous version, but the behind-the-scenes story that most founders don’t talk about.

We’re grateful for his honesty, his time, and his willingness to share the real founder journey. Wishing Mitch continued success as he grows Rviita! taken in Georgia Tech by @gt.fba

Day one of the @gfifoods Food Expo is in the books!

I spent the day with GT.FBA Accelerator members @ezemixers and @tatisbread, and we’re having a great time connecting with the food community and showcasing what brands are building at GT.FBA.

A huge thank you to the entire GFI team for their continued support of the Georgia Tech Food & Beverage Accelerator. We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership.

If you’re at the expo, come see us at Booth #443! taken in Georgia World Congress Center by @gt.fba

Today, Jane McCracken joined us for Investor Readiness, Part 2: Telling Your Story, and as always, she was wonderful.

Here’s a quick look at Jane offering thoughtful critique and advice to one of our founders as he works through his pitch.

This is what founder support looks like. by @gt.fba

One of the most valuable things we can give food founders is access to the people and companies who can help them take their businesses to the next level.

Our GT.FBA Accelerator members had the opportunity to visit @gfifoods and spent time with Donnie Wade and the GFI team learning more about distribution, what GFI looks for in a product, and what it takes to get your product on the shelf.

A huge thank you to Donnie and everyone at GFI for opening your doors and, more importantly, for being such an incredible partner and supporter of GT.FBA over the past two years. Your support means the world to us and to the founders we serve.

And we can't forget Chef Saki! Thank you for treating us to an amazing lunch. You definitely kept our founders happy and well fed!

We're grateful for the partnership and excited about what's ahead. by @gt.fba

Flavors of Georgia, Seasoned by Big Green Egg was a great night!

A special thank you to Regina Maddox and the Next Generation Manufacturing team for creating another incredible opportunity for Georgia food brands to showcase their products.

We were especially proud to see so many GT.FBA founders participating, sharing their products, meeting consumers, and putting their brands on display.

This is what happens when you give food founders a great platform and let the products speak for themselves.

We are proud of our founders and grateful for partners who create opportunities for them to shine.

There’s no substitute for getting food founders out of the classroom and into the real world.

Our GT.FBA Accelerator members recently had the opportunity to visit Blue Frog Foods and get a firsthand look at what it takes to manufacture and scale food products.

A huge thank you to David and Michael for opening your doors, sharing your expertise, and continuing to support our founders. We truly appreciate your partnership and investment in the GT.FBA community!

These are the experiences that help founders connect the dots between building a product and building a business.

What a day at Tech Hop!

Earlier today, Georgia Tech hosted Tech Hop in Tech Square as part of Atlanta Tech Week, and we were thrilled to have GT.FBA past and present members there sharing and sampling their amazing products.

It's always fun watching our food founders take over Tech Square and show the Atlanta tech community what they're building.

Food + Tech + Atlanta = a pretty great combination.

Food founders, don't wait until you have a legal problem to start thinking about protecting your business.

Tomorrow at 10 AM, we're bringing back Lauren Handel, founder of Handel Food Law PLLC, for a practical conversation about the legal side of building a food business.

We'll talk trademarks, co-packing agreements, recipes, intellectual property, and the legal questions founders should be asking as they grow.

There's still time to join us!
