Such a great experience being part of an expert panel at The Hatchery this week! I loved getting to meet and share feedback with a group of passionate food & beverage entrepreneurs who are building such creative, purpose-driven brands. Big thanks to The Hatchery for inviting me to be part of such a supportive and energizing space for entrepreneurs. Can’t wait to see where these brands go next! 🙌
Proud of, and impressed by, the eight budding culinary entrepreneurs graduating the latest cohort of the ICNC 's Food and bev incubator, The Hatchery! They pitched their new businesses to our panel of 'seasoned' (love that word) industry professionals who did our best to provide helpful insights as they fly the proverbial coop and face the world! Enjoyed serving alongside my cohorts Carrie Conway of Kraft Heinz, Nicole Fernandes of Norman Distribution, Inc and Sarah Brett of Plante Moran , who each brought incisive questions and thoughtful suggestions. Great job Margaret Doherty, MBA, and team. Let's support our small producers in specialty shops big and small, farmers markets and online. This is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of what I do. #thehatcherychicago #foodandbev #entrepreneurs #foodincubator #givingback #pitchcompetion #payitforward
