FOOD FUNDED 2026 Entrepreneurship & Investor Fair
Food entrepreneurs and investors convene for educational workshops and live investment presentations to catalyze funding for food ventures.
With all of the change happening around us, we find that community remains the best source of health and sanity. Let’s look at food systems with a strong intention of systemic change -- and catalyze funding!
Food makers are change makers. Funding them is a meaningful bet on our future. The 2026 summit continues the focus of the impact of food businesses on Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) and Climate Action.
