Boston Founder Social - NA in CPG - July 2026
About this Event
Startup CPG is coming back to Boston: don't miss our latest Boston Founder Social - NA in CPG at Dray Drinks in South End! 🎉
Join us for mingling and sampling with buyers and retailers from all around the Boston area. Dray Drinks is the perfect backdrop — one of Boston's go-to destinations for premium non-alcoholic beverages — and we're filling it with the founders, tastemakers, and retail buyers who are shaping the future of the category!
Even if you aren’t selected for table sampling, bring product with you to show buyers! Sample packets/trial sizes and backpack sampling highly encouraged.
A special thank you to our wonderful host for this event Dray Drinks: a non-alcoholic bottle shop, online marketplace, and community for all those passionate about alcohol alternatives; building a community for non-drinkers–where everyone is welcome, regardless of when or why they might choose to abstain from alcohol.
Heads up: we'll have VIPs in attendance as well.
