Anna Kotler
FoodCubate Founder
FoodCubate Mission: To serve as a comprehensive resource for early stage foodpreneurs in the NYC- metro area.
About
Our philosophy is that food startups need more than just advice they need a stable of partners that can help on all fronts. If you're in the kitchen making your product you don't also have time to design and source packaging, set a strategy, define the target consumer, not to mention post something relevant and engaging on Social Media.
We've been there and we get it....
At FoodCubate we have the knowledge and resources to help a nascent packaged food company with everything from high level strategic projects, such as developing a brand concept, marketing plan and P&L, to day-to-day "roll up your sleeves" tasks such as sourcing packaging, finding cheaper ingredients and handling a product demo.
Through years of experience, with both Fortune 500 companies and early stage startups, we know what it takes to develop and launch a food brand. We have partnerships with trusted, low cost resources and vendors to help you achieve the best possible results on a limited budget.
