Are you a CPG founder in the Hamilton/Halton region looking to connect with peers who truly understand your journey? Forget the formal panels and endless presentations. Sips & Startups is designed for one thing: authentic conversations among fellow CPG entrepreneurs over a drink (or two!).

Join us at Innovation Factory for a relaxed, informal gathering on Thursday, June 5th, from 4 PM to 6 PM. This is your chance to unwind, swap stories from the trenches, share advice, and forge new connections in a casual, supportive environment.

What to expect:

• Casual vibes: Kick back and connect without pressure.
• Real conversations: Discuss the challenges and triumphs of building a CPG brand.
• New connections: Expand your network with local founders who ‘get it.’
• Beers, peers, and good energy: Enjoy a complimentary drink ticket on us!

Whether you’re just launching your first product, navigating the complexities of scaling up, or somewhere in between, this meetup is for CPG startup founders, operators, and builders of all kinds. Bring: Yourself, your questions, and your best (or wildest!) stories from the consumer goods space.

Why this network is essential for CPG Founders:

The CPG journey is unique, with specific challenges like scaling production, securing shelf space, mastering distribution, and adapting to consumer trends. This meetup is your chance to:

• Unlock Peer Insights: Learn from others who’ve tackled similar supply chain, marketing, or retail listing hurdles.
• Discover Trusted Resources: Get recommendations for co-packers, distributors, or agencies directly from those in the trenches.
• Stay Ahead of Trends: Hear firsthand about market shifts and retailer demands.
• Find Your Tribe: Connect with a supportive community that truly understands the CPG grind.

Space is limited to keep the conversations genuine, so grab your spot early!
