You’d be remiss to plan your 2019 Boulder Startup Week without considering the Food Track with a watchful eye, err, stomach.
The 2019 Food Track is going to be big and different! This year we are pushing Boulder beyond its traditional CPG roots and introducing a deeper focus on the food system and the role of technology in the food system.
Expect to learn more about new age trends like e-commerce and how to sell online, big food system issues like food waste, new innovations and opportunities across the food value chain, the role of technology in food and agriculture, a farm tour to reconnect with our Boulder farmers, and we’re closing out the week by kicking off Startup Weekend Food+Tech on Friday night!
To make this happen we’ve had a ton of help from the community. Nutrition Capital Network is our food track sponsor this year with local startup community leader Joe Mattaserving as track captain. But Joe has been only a tiny piece of the puzzle. This year’s events have been planned and coordinated by a number of local food community leaders, including:
- Maggie Vander Pol, New Hope Network
- Rebecca Waterhouse, Slow Food Boulder
- Caroline Bushnell, The Good Food Institute
- Jennifer Krupey, Natchcom
- Zach Duckworth, DigiZen Marketing Group
- Dan Nguyen, Startup Weekend
As a team we have been laser focused on delivering an engaging lineup of educational and inspirational events that are sure to provide value to seasoned foodies and newcomers alike. If you are interested in the Food track you can expect events that will cover some old and some brand new perspectives on food, including, but not limited to:
- Preventing Food Loss at the Farm
