The most successful F&B brands aren’t just built on great products — they’re built on visionary founders who know how to lead. In this masterclass, Meghan Caiazzo will guide you through the mindset and skills you need to shift from product maker to business leader, and to become the kind of founder investors, retailers, and teams want to back.
Drawing from her two decades of experience scaling beverage and CPG companies from launch to $100M+ and leading multiple exits, Meghan will break down how to:
-
Define and polish your founder story for pitches, press, and investors
-
Build a profitability mindset that drives smart, sustainable growth
-
Hire and delegate across production, sales, and distribution
-
Align your team structure with growth goals and product strategy
Format: 60–75 minute masterclass for early-stage F&B founders, including a lecture-style session, live Q&A, and a post-event assignment.
Takeaway: You’ll leave with a 12-month founder roadmap that ties growth to team and strategy, plus a polished founder story you can put straight into your pitch deck.
