Watch Office Hours: Financial Health: Investment, Debt, and COVID-19

Office Hours dug into the state of debt and financial planning for entrepreneurial food and beverage companies with our first episode of 2021.

Featuring guests Jeremy Triefenbach, co-founder of Stage 1 Financial and Jessica Bates, Managing Director of Dwight Funding and a live studio audience, the show explored how CPG brands should look at the state of investment and loan availability amidst a variety of changes: the COVID-19 pandemic, business pivots, and government supports for industry and employers.
