FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what founders ask before booking a strategy session.

What does the Beverage Incubator actually do for me?

We execute alongside you: formulation, branding, packaging, production, launch and scale. You own the brand; we operate as your brand growth team.

How much do I need to invest?

Programs start at $10,000 for the Start-Up Launch and scale to $50,000+ for the full incubator with market testing. Production runs are budgeted separately.

How long until my product is on shelf?

Most brands go from concept to MVP launch in 4 to 9 months depending on formulation complexity and co-packer schedules.

Do I keep ownership of my brand?

Yes. Full ownership of your brand, formulas and files stays with you. We are a fee-based partner, not an equity taker, unless you ask for that structure.

What categories do you work in?

Beverage, snack, candy, sports nutrition, food, wellness, pet and household, anywhere CPG velocity rules apply.
