Startup CPG Founder Dinner @ Newtopia Now 2025

To close out Newtopia Now, we're throwing a Startup CPG Founder Dinner at Yardbird's Speakeasy! 50 founders will convene to connect, share insights, and learn from one another over food & drink!

This event will take place in a private dining space! You'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself, break off to chat in small groups, and leave with valuable lessons learned.

Heads up: we'll have plenty of VIPs in attendance from buyers, investors, to media.

Featured Guests:

• Todd Davis, King Soopers
• Katy Ludwig, Northwest Grocers
• Jason Adams, Northwest Grocers
• Travis Reams, Meijer
• Kasey Blueitt, Meijer
• Lauren Mamuszka, GoPuff
• Erik Muller, Fruit Guys
• Charlie New, Whole Foods

Remember to bring samples to share with other founders and buyers! We'll handle the food and drink.

Arrive early to get checked in, grab a drink, and start meeting other founders!

Please note: this event is only open to CPG brand founders and their teams only– not service providers, fractional consultants, or brokers.

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