When conversations start about where food businesses are being built, who gets access, and what happens when talented makers don’t have pathways into the formal food economy, we pay attention.
Thank you to the Globe & Mail for highlighting this growing reality: people are creating and selling food in new ways, but access to infrastructure, education, and compliant production spaces still matters.
That’s exactly why Foodpreneur Lab exists.
We’ve spent years helping food entrepreneurs move from idea → product → market with the knowledge, systems, and support to build sustainable businesses.
Now, we’re excited to expand that work with another funder...
In collaboration with and .io we’ve created a new Agri-Food Startup Program to support equity-deserving and Indigenous entrepreneurs building food businesses through mentorship, business training, access to commercial kitchens, and real pathways to growth.
If you’ve been making, testing, dreaming, or quietly building… this could be your moment.
