Navigating Retail: How Emerging Brands Use Momentum To Fuel Sustainable Retail Growth
Information
This session will focus on how emerging and better-for-you brands can translate category momentum into real retail success — earning access, building early velocity, and creating the foundation for long-term growth on shelf.
Our goal is to keep this session practical, honest, and founder-forward. We’ll explore what “retail readiness” really means today, what signals retailers look for beyond a great product story, and the playbook brands can use to move from momentum to meaningful, sustainable retail growth.
What we’ll also cover:
What differentiates brands that successfully earn retail placement
How emerging brands can build velocity once they land on shelf
The priorities founders should focus on before and immediately after their first PO
Common missteps that stall growth — and how brands can avoid them
This will be a highly interactive discussion, designed to deliver clear takeaways for founders navigating retail now or preparing for their next stage of growth.
We’ll also have two fireside chat sessions with special guests with brands that have successfully navigated retail and build that sustainable growth with their companies.
