At NOSH Live Winter 2021, natural food startups will continue to push the industry forward, redefining category lines and paving new paths with a fresh outlook and hunger for innovation. Returning live and in-person this year, the NOSH Live Pitch Slam presented by 301 Inc. provides a stage for brand founders to share their stories, show off their products, and connect with the community. The competition is held during NOSH Live in Santa Monica, California on December 2nd and 3rd.

The NOSH Live Pitch Slam provides attendees a close look at the natural food brands of tomorrow. Finalists have the opportunity to receive feedback on their pitches and products from a panel of influential industry judges. The pitches will take place in front of a live audience of industry veterans, potential partners, and hundreds of online viewers looking to see “what’s next” in the natural food world.

During the competition, finalists present a five minute pitch, field questions from the judges, and receive actionable feedback that can bring their brand to the next level. Judges can include retailers, investors, brokers and other industry experts. The panel has seen executives from General Mills, KeHE Distributors, Whole Foods Market, Presence Marketing, JPG Resources and CAULIPOWER.

The Pitch Slam allows brands to take the spotlight during NOSH Live. All competitors benefit from industry exposure, opening the door for strategic conversations and future partnerships.
