There’s a lot of talk from Big Food, major grocers and venture capitalists about foodpreneurs. 

Nothing like Big Food and major grocers to jump on the bandwagon way after the movement began for thinking consumers and brand owners. #sorrynotsorry

They all want in. From my experience, a retail buyer knows shelf space, a product manufacturer knows production (and old school branding) and VCs know how to spend money to make money. 

So who has the whole package that is right for your product? 

In this episode you'll learn:

  1. What the best options are for you to scale your food and drink business;
  2. How to expand your sales skills so your product lands on more shelves; and
  3. How to get the capital required to scale your manufacturing.


I give you key insights and behind the scenes of food and drink accelerators, incubators, and investors.  

Not all accelerators, incubators and investors are alike, and some are not who you think they are.

For this episode I interviewed three women who have significant first hand experience with each and I’ll share their results so you know what it’s really like behind the scenes.

Season 17 with NFTC

Season 17, out now, is brought to you by NFTC – The Natural Foods Trading Company.

If you're a growing food brand navigating that tricky middle phase—scaling up, maybe landing your first major retailer, figuring out how to buy smarter—NFTC is worth knowing about.

They're a mid-tier ingredient supplier specialising in natural wholefoods: nuts, dried fruits, herbs, spices, seeds, and more. Small enough to offer lower minimums and genuine flexibility, but backed by serious sourcing capability and a team that actually knows its range inside out.

Think of them as the ingredient partner that grows with you—not one you'll outgrow.
