How We Support Food Entrepreneurs

Food incubator atmosphere
  • Access Newly Constructed Commercial Kitchen

    Our test kitchen is a newly constructed, fully equipped commercial kitchen with state of the art equipment for all types of cooking. While it has limited volume capacity it can be used for full seed stage production.

  • Unlock Unit Economics

    Leveraging our existing supplier relations better pricing and services are negotiated with suppliers on behalf of our participants. Savings are significant.

  • Grow With Strategic Insights

    At our food incubator there's no single playbook or definition of success. We tailor our strategic and operational support to each our founder’s ambitions and company. Drawing on experience, pattern recognition and ideas from leading minds, we help to draw a roadmap that’s your-company-specific.

  • Grow With Network Access

    Having access to the right person at the right time can be transformative for any food startup business leader. But, it’s particularly critical when they’re growing and scaling a business. When our portfolio companies need introductions – whatever that might look like – we take action personally.

Hear From Program Participants

Lucian's Food crafts the most delectable and mouthwatering cookies that will leave you craving for more. Our journey began with a simple dream: to create the perfect cookie free of the top 15 allergies that would warm the hearts of people from all walks of life. From the very first batch, we dedicated ourselves to the art of baking, blending premium ingredients with love and care to deliver an unforgettable cookie experience.

The food incubator allowed Lucian's Food to produce the early cookie batches in a fully certified commercial kitchen while continuing to support the formation of their business model and go-to-market.
