Scaling a CPG brand isn’t a straight line. It’s a constant negotiation between time, cash, and execution.

Founders are often building brand, product, production, and retail relationships all at once. Early decisions around packaging, pricing, and co-packers are hard to reverse, and what works at markets or DTC doesn’t always translate to shelf success.
