Food Funded
FOOD FUNDED is a two-day event that convenes investors, funders, and food manufacturers for two days of educational workshops and live investment presentations to catalyze the funding flow for food ventures. This year, the Food Funded event brings 24 curated Food entrepreneurs with bold missions and focus on solutions addressing Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI) and Climate Change in our food system.
