Food Innovators: it’s time to take your place on the global stage

Applications Are Now Closed. Thank you to all who applied!

The truth is, though Philly is known for its iconic cheesesteaks, food innovation is a central part of our identity. From Herr’s and Tastykake to Bimbo Bakeries USA and Dietz and Watson, our historic city is a launchpad for global food brands. What’s more, local organizations like Brown’s Super Stores have been partnering with local entrepreneurs to amplify their brands. The Philly Startup Leaders Food Innovation Accelerator Program, taking place in the Fall of 2022, will welcome food innovators and local chefs to learn how to create a scaleable startup.

This focused, 12-week program equips growth-stage founders with the knowledge, network, and agility they need to grow their businesses, while offering funding channels and partnership opportunities for future growth. Most importantly, our program seeks to promote equitable entrepreneurship in this emerging industry through access and visibility.

The program includes weekly sessions, office hours, extracurricular activities, and access to opportunities to promote your business at PSL events and through channel partnerships secured through our organization.

The details: 10 startups selected | September 27 through December 14 | Tuesday Evenings | 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM | $25 to apply | $350 - $700 sliding scale participation fee per startup; payment plans available
