Rock31 Accelerator Pitch Competition
May 23, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The 2023 Rock31 consumer products accelerator helps founders grow their companies through access to a wealth of resources and expertise. Led by a community of industry leaders and experts, including successful founders, the program offers intensive education, mentorship from hand-selected teams, and connections to retailers and investors.
Join us at the MEDA Spring Conference for the Rock31 consumer products accelerator pitch competition.
This event will be held in conjunction with the spring conference in Billings at the Northern Hotel. All are invited to attend (conference registration is NOT required).
Hear pitches from 5 of the 8 companies that participated in our first SBDC/Rock31 Consumer Packaged Goods Accelerator.
The Accelerator helped founders grow their companies through a 10-week program. We provided intensive education, mentorship from hand-selected teams, connections to retailers and investors and access to a wealth of resources and expertise. These companies spent 4 hours a week for the last 10-weeks working through our curriculum, diving deeper into their companies and getting reconnected to their “why”. We are excited to cap off this amazing accelerator with a pitch competition where these businesses have the opportunity to win cash prizes and have the potential to meet investors.
