Bearish financial news is bleeding over into capital markets for CPG brands. Valuations are heading down and it's going to be more challenging for businesses, especially emerging brands, to get financing. Investors are setting a higher bar for growth expectations and in many cases need to see a path to profitability.
Our panelists will provide takeaways on how smart companies are responding to economic stressors by playing the long game. It will also address the conundrum that the demand side of the industry — and growth opportunities — remain very robust as consumers continue to seek better, healthier options.
Jim Slama, Managing Director of Naturally Chicago will serve as moderator.
