The currently co-manufacturing landscape.
How to negotiate with manufacturers.
Making your product in a commercial kitchen.
Building a manufacturing facility from the ground up.

Our friend Manoli at Margin Velocity Planner put together this amazing guide on how to accurately measure both of these.
INVENTORY FINANCING TO ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH
If you've talked with me at all recently you know that I'm a huge fan of alternative financing for growing your CPG businesses. VCs are no longer investing in food unless you're in alt-meat/seafood these days.
So how are you supposed to get money to grow?
