“SNX presents an entirely new dynamic that mimics the snack manufacturing process, providing suppliers and producers a unique opportunity to collaborate at each step. The new concept has me considering bringing a whole new group of employees so they can benefit from this immersive experience.”

“SNAC tank was a fantastic experience! I was able to pitch in front of industry leaders, get great feedback, and connect with other passionate entrepreneurs doing amazing things in the food and beverage space. Winning SNAC tank was incredible validation. I started Candid right as COVID hit, so I haven't had much of an opportunity to participate in industry events, trade shows, pitch competitions, etc. It felt amazing to receive positive feedback from such an all-star panel of judges. The 10 grand really helps, too!"

“We had done the same thing for so long and this change was refreshing. Instead of standing in a traditional trade show booth, we had a space to gather, talk business, and make meaningful connections. And, no freight charges to ship the equipment!”

“Walking the manufacturing process in a linear way helped the team to contextualize each individual step, goals of the group for these processes, and what was available to support those goals. Secondarily, from that, we were able to meet in in a sperate environment to describe more closely what our organizational objectives were and where those partners (present or new) fit.

Shearers met with a company and their team there for the first time and 2 years later we are now engaged in a multiyear agreement and feel great about the partnership. I don’t think we would have gotten that “right start” through an informal meeting on the show floor.”
