Launching Food Businesses on a Lean Budget

Resources and Techniques for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Introduction to the Columbia-Union Kitchen Incubator

Have you ever thought of launching your own food or beverage company?

How can you get started and grow without raising a ton of money? What techniques can you use to keep your costs low? What resources are available in the city to help you?

Our panel of experienced entrepreneurs will share their experiences on launching your business on a lean budget.

In addition, we will offer a tour of the Columbia-Union Kitchen Incubator, a large commercial kitchen that will be open later this year for aspiring food entrepreneurs.
