Steps
While we are lucky to bring our international community together virtually in many ways, we are equally passionate about helping you find your local community of CPGers. In our 10 city hubs, we host regular meet-ups and networking events to bring your relationships off-screen. Whether you’re bonding over the coolest new brands or local foodie faves, our events are a great opportunity to find likeminded individuals and build meaningful connections — over an (emerging) bev, of course.
We’re firm believers in the unstoppable power of RELATIONSHIPS – so we help you form connections both online and IRL.
We host in-person events across the country. Come join us for the next one in your local community!

This has been an invaluable resource. I love that they bring on experts to take deep dives on every topic imaginable. Whenever a new challenge comes up or there’s a topic I want to learn more about, I check here first!
I was particularly impressed with the recent Meta Ads episode and felt that Daniel knew all the right, juicy questions to ask. I love that all learnings and tips are in the specific context of CPG, which makes them transferable and actionable. Thank you, StartupCPG!

Being a brand owner in Chicago is like being part of a big, quirky family—where everyone’s got your back and is just as passionate about local business as you are. As the Community Leader for the Chicago chapter of Startup CPG, I’ve had the joy of connecting some seriously awesome people who, together, make magic happen. The energy here? Absolutely electric! It’s inspiring to watch our community not just support but challenge each other to push boundaries. Honestly, there’s nothing better than bringing people together and seeing what sparks fly. I’m thrilled to be in the middle of it all!
