• We are thrilled, along with Jeff Church, to bring the Brandjectory/DreamMakers Brand Battle Pitch Slam to the CPG community.

    Brandjectory’s raison d'être is to provide education, engagement & exposure to emerging CPG brands. We can’t imagine a better way to do that than to provide virtual pitch slams, providing exposure for the brands pitching to the investor community & education for those brands in the audience! And a chance to get to know a bit of who’s who & what’s what in CPG!

    So whether you are a founder, investor or service provider, or just a CPG fan & enthusiast, join us for these two amazing events! Learn what investors want to see in a short pitch & find out about some amazing young brands!

    And if you are a founder, investor or service provider - we want to help, engage & partner with you! To learn more about Brandjectory, contact us at tom@brandjectory.com or susan@brandjectory.com!

Black-and-white portrait of a smiling man with short, wavy hair and light skin.

With over 35 years of entrepreneurial experience, I am passionate about creating, building, and ultimately selling consumer brands that are market disruptors and that make a positive impact in the world. I am the founder and CEO of TeamChurch.co, a platform for me that involves: 1.) high impact consulting and fund raising for CPG brands; 2.) public speaking and 3.) finishing up my book on the Suja story and entrepreneurship. Woven through it all is a compelling desire to share with aspiring entrepreneurs both the successes and losses that I've incurred along the way with the hopes that my experiences can be others' short cuts.

One of my proudest achievements was co-founding and leading Suja Juice, the leading cold-pressed juice brand in the US, which grew to over $100 million in revenue in just six years. I was honored to receive the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and the BevNet Person of the Year award for my role in Suja's success. I have a MBA from Harvard Business School and a CPA background from Ernst & Young. I enjoy working with people who share my values and vision, and who are committed to making a difference in the world.

You’ve got a great idea, now you’re facing a daunting task of making it work. Startups fail for a lot reasons however most have to do with bad advice, weak products, inexperienced teams and costly mistakes that could have easily been avoided. Now, you can shift the odds in your favor by joining our Accelerator and learning from Jeff, peers and other industry luminaries.

For a small investment of your time and money, join a peer group of non-competing Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) emerging brands. Together, you’ll learn the techniques and know-how of seasoned and successful operators while benefiting from intimate “peer-to-peer” synergistic relationships.

The Accelerator will teach you how to unlock the secrets of success in the competitive CPG industry, together with a select group of noncompeting brands. Led by Jeff Church, a successful serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Suja Juice, you’ll gain insights, white papers and tools from his more than 35 years of experience.
