      Four Phase Roadmap-1

      The food and beverage industry is incredibly competitive, with new brands launching every day. We believe that success comes when you create a product people want and build a strong foundation for your growth. 

      Our Accelerator helps you do just that with our four phase roadmap, accelerated by our ecosystem of Kitchen, Distribution, and Stores.  

       

      Our Four Phase Roadmap

      Our Accelerator works through Four Phases to build profitable food businesses
      Four Phase Roadmap-1

       

      • Phase One: Launch (LAUNCH) - Launch in stores in 90 days with a product people want 
      • Phase Two: Product Market Fit (LOCAL) - Leverage our Ecosystem to achieve product market fit faster and saturate the local market
      • Phase Three: Growth (REGIONAL) - Build regionally with a product that has a strong local customer base and that you are manufacturing at increasing scale  
      • Phase Four: Scale (NATIONAL) - Scale your operations nationally in a way that maintains what people love about your product and is profitable

      Our Ecosystem

      Our ecosystem of Kitchen, Distribution, and Stores is the foundation of our Accelerator and how we build winning companies. By owning your manufacturing in our Kitchen, you are able to create products your customers love. Our Stores provide direct customer feedback, allowing you to iterate and find product market fit faster. And our partners, District Distribution allow you to saturate locally, building a strong foundation for regional and national expansion.
