This food founder’s festival has really established itself as one of the highlights of a food entrepreneurs calender.  The festival itself is 3rd – 4th October.  However there is a whole programme of networking events both free and paid throughout the year in the run up to this, offering (and these are just a few) opportunities to: pitch your products to stores, a food business bootcamp, monthly socials (next one explores attracting the right investors for your food business) and much more!  Booking info here.

We love TableCrowd!

Imagine being able to dine and learn from entrepreneurs who have ‘made it’ or share a glass of wine with investors who are looking for the next big thing, or simply to network in a relaxed restaurant atmosphere.  That’s what TableCrowd offers, a chance to meet people over dinner.

Coming up, you could dine with a leading business journalist: securing press coverage for your business, an Angel Investor, investing in fashion, media & tech or the founder of Pure Gym: launching, scaling and selling, a British business success story.

Get dining! Book here
