SKU Spotlights Seven Disruptive Brands at Fall '24 Showcase Pitch Event

AUSTIN, Texas - Oct. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- SKU (https://sku.is/), the nation's leading CPG accelerator, will celebrate the culmination of the Fall '24 Track with an in-person event in Austin on Tue, Nov. 19th from 4:30-9:00 PM at Robert B. Rowling Hall at the University of Texas McComb's School of Business. RSVP here (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/join-us-for-the-sku-fall-24-showcase-pitch-event-tickets-1048907740287?aff=oddtdtcreator) to attend the event - one of the industry's premiere pitch events.

"These are some special founders who have created a brand born out of their own passion," said SKU Executive Director, Buff Greebe. "Their creativity and dedication are truly inspiring, and they are so excited and honored to be a part of their journey. We can't wait to see how they will shape the future of the industry."

The SKU Showcase provides an opportunity for founders to present to an audience of CPG leaders from around the country, integrating all they have learned during the immersive 12-week program. The founders participate in weekly classes led by industry experts, covering essential topics for CPG entrepreneurs, including channel strategy, branding, packaging, labeling and safety, operations, and fundraising.

While SKU's curriculum is best in class, it is our mentors who are SKUs special sauce. These mentors include senior executives from industry giants like Whole Foods, PepsiCo, and Mars, alongside accomplished investors, subject-matter experts and founders of such brands. All are united by a shared passion for coaching and advising high-growth, early-stage businesses to help them reach their potential and achieve a liquidity event.

"I can already enthusiastically say that Kif's time in SKU has been transformational," says Caroline Brain, founder of Kif & Co. "It's essentially a specialized, expedited business school for CPG founders. I knew it would be an incredible asset but I could have never predicted the incredible level of support, knowledge and critical connections that it has afforded. Every emerging brand could benefit in my mind."

SKU currently is recruiting brands and mentors for the Spring '25 Track, which runs March through May. The track will be virtual, with in-person events at the launch and conclusion of the program. Brands can be from a wide range of categories, including food and beverage, apparel, and beauty.
