From Vision to Viability – Startup Cider Business Bootcamp ✼
Tuesday, February 3 — 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Price: $75
Where to begin? There are so many hurdles and challenges that face a startup cidery in today’s economy that it is hard to even know the right questions to ask. We can help! We’re going to spend three and a half hours addressing the fundamentals of the startup process through the experience of people who have been there before and done things “mostly right”. We’ll take you from start to finish in a cidery startup lifecycle and go over business plan development including:
- Financing
- Real estate/build out decisions
- Branding
- Licensing and compliance
- Employee/equipment acquisition
- And more!
This will be a moderated panel discussion led by industry experts, followed by a Q and A with cideries of different sizes who can provide insights on models that may be similar to your own. Our hope is that you walk away feeling confident in your startup strategies and armed with the tools needed to operate a sustainable cider company for years to come.
Speakers: Nick Gunn, Chas Runco, Amber Burton, Stephanie Artino, Patti Wilcox, Jason Cassidy, Hannah Ferguson
