182. The Biggest CPG Industry Challenge and How to Overcome it

We’re at a pivotal time in the CPG industry right now. The dry spell of capital has put a lot of VC funded companies out of business and is preventing the launch of many more. So what’s a founder to do? I’ve invited on Howie Sher, who’s been in the food industry for decades and has seen it all. Howie grew up in the grocery store business before starting his own CPG nut business, What-A-Ya Nuts, which he ran for 10 years. Now he consults with CPG founders and runs JPG’s Founder Cohort program.

I am excited to share that after a successful Spring/Summer session, our friends at JPG Resources are now recruiting for the Fall/Winter Founder Cohorts!

This is a B-School course approach for Founders, covering subjects including Fundraising, Marketing, Data, Sales, Regulatory, Legal, Supply Chain, and beyond in sessions led by some of the industry’s most recognized leaders.

The Cohort is an opportunity for personal and brand growth – where you meet and learn from industry experts and former founders while sharing collective experiences with peers.
