• Rachel Krupa - Founder @ The Goods Mart

Here are the amazing brands sampling at this event:

• Gigantic makes Candy Deluxe—a candy bar that actually grew up.

• Happy Caapi is the 1st legal ayahuasca vine supplement in the market.
• Motif makes clean-label syrups that elevate the daily ritual of coffee and tea at home—naturally flavored, free from artificial ingredients, and made with 70% less sugar than leading brands.
• RIND is a Brooklyn based, innovative vegan cheese manufacturer known for aged cambleu and bleu cheese and Veggie Underground, the only sliced cheese made with real vegetable purees.
• Shinzo Matcha makes fun fizzy sodas with natural caffeine from matcha.

Space is limited! You must apply to sample with a table. A ticket to the event does NOT grant you a sampling table. You can still bring samples in a bag.

Please note: this event is open to founders, co-founders, and C-Suite equivalent employees of CPG brands only – no sales reps, brokers, or anyone else is permitted.
