December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
Find clarity for what comes next.
Meet buyers, investors, operators, and experienced founders who can offer practical perspective on retail, fundraising, and the decisions ahead.
Retail feedback, investor perspective, founder experience
The right conversation can change what happens next.
Retail placement is harder to win, fundraising criteria have shifted, and decisions around margins, distribution, packaging, and positioning carry more weight than they used to.
Nosh Live brings buyers, investors, operators, and founders together in person for two days of candid conversation, practical feedback, and product discovery. Ask direct questions, pressure-test your strategy, share your product, and build relationships that continue well beyond the event.
Bring the questions you can’t afford to guess on
Boot Camp
How do I protect margins as input costs rise? What do buyers need to see before taking a meeting? How do I build an investor story that holds up in 2026? Boot Camp tackles those questions directly.
It’s a chance to work through real business decisions with experienced leaders across retail, fundraising, operations, marketing, and growth.
Boot Camp is open to all attendees and highly recommended for companies in their first five years.
Live feedback from industry leaders
Pitch Slam
Pitch Slam is where emerging brands take the stage to showcase their products to an expert panel and a live audience of founders, buyers, and investors.
Whether you’re pitching or watching, you’ll hear what resonates, what raises questions, and what can sharpen your own approach.
A Few Past Participants
Focused time with the people you came to meet
1:1 Meetings
Pre-scheduled, structured conversations with retail buyers evaluating new brands and investors exploring emerging companies.
Request meetings based on your category, goals, and priorities. When there’s a match, you’ll have dedicated time to discuss your product, retail strategy, fundraising plans, and what could move the business forward.
Meetings aren’t guaranteed, and calendars fill quickly. Register early to be considered sooner.

BevNET Live has positively impacted GHOST in a number of ways. And I'd encourage a lot of founders and other people in the industry to make sure that they get to the next one.
