From a sugar-free cereal subscription service to sustainably sourced Vietnamese pour-over coffee, the entrepreneurial food scene in the United States is diverse. Companies across the country are constantly and creatively changing how we find, share, and eat our food. This is our list of must-watch makers.
The food industry is evolving fast, and everyone is trying to keep up. A confluence of forces are behind this massive change in what we eat and how we find our food. The advent of smart kitchens, digital natives, and the public's insatiable thirst for unique food experiences has given rise to a new set of entrepreneurs in food & beverage.
These new food makers are former corporate attorneys, bartenders, professors, long time food entrepreneurs, and others. They have found, or are looking for, a niche to call their own in this golden age of food choice.
Unlike tech startups, or movie creators, these food & beverage makers don’t congregate around one singular geographic location. We set out to identify must-watch F&B makers in every state to watch, listen to, learn from, and hopefully, some day feast upon!
Please click to enlarge. This list and map was created in November 2018 by Foodboro staff and friends.
(Note: As we built this map, we looked at food and beverage makers of all sizes, who were growing their businesses in innovative ways - no matter what stage their company was. Alcohol companies, wholesale food providers, small makers, shared kitchen tenants, and bigger, established food companies all were considered. From there, we chose one must-watch food startup from each state (and DC), except for California - where we chose one company each from SoCal and NorCal.)
