We’re excited to be featured in @incmagazine CPG Power List!

The article highlights the work we’re doing at the Georgia Tech Food & Beverage Accelerator to help food and beverage founders turn ideas into viable businesses and grow without giving up equity.

One of the biggest challenges for early-stage founders is falling in love with a product before validating that customers actually want it. At GT.FBA, customer discovery is at the heart of our approach. We help founders understand their customers, validate their ideas, and build businesses around real market needs.

We’re proud to be part of Georgia Tech’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and grateful for the founders, mentors, and partners who make this work possible.

Thank you to Inc. Magazine for recognizing our work!

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!

The Celpo Snacks team had a great time at the Flavors of Georgia Seasoned by Big Green Egg Event yesterday evening. It was so good to see so many familiar faces and to meet new local foodie friends. Chef Taylor’s food pairings were spectacular particular the spicy tuna on our FabuLentils Crunchy Crisps. Delicious! Thank you to Regina Maddox and the Next Generation Manufacturing team for this opportunity.

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.

WOW!!! What a day! Our first-ever BLACKYARD Cookout was a success! It was so fun (and busy) and communal I barely even got to capture content but just know … a time was HAD and FOOD WAS ATE.

With Labor Day right around the corner, I want to encourage you all to buy Black for your cookouts and end of summer events. Spending our money intentionally is one easy but important way to invest in and uplift our community. All of the brands we featured at the cookout are listed and tagged below AND you can get access directly to the website I made at the link in my bio for more details.

Big thank you to Diana Sutherland and @thegrowkitcollective team, along with @sutherlandsfoodserviceinc and @iamgeorgiagrown, for such a well-curated experience today.

The Industry Exposure Experience at Sutherland’s Food Show was powerful. It created space to not just see products, but to really think about positioning, partnerships, and growth.

Grateful to be surrounded by founders and organizations that are intentional about building and supporting Georgia’s food community.
