Startup CPG Boston Founder Social - June 2026

Startup CPG is coming to Boston: don't miss our founders-only social at The Painted Burro! Join us for mingling and sampling with buyers and retailers from all around the Boston area.
Connect, share insights on all things CPG, and have a good time!

Your ticket covers a buffet-style dinner with vegetarian options also available. This is a casual, kick-back style dinner – come as you are!

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.

Heads up: we'll have VIPs in attendance as well.

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.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, though! Please email [email protected] for more information.
