About the Brandjectory Pitch Slam

The 2023 Brandjectory Pitch Slam showcased five high-quality seed-to-Series A stage CPG brands across food, beverage, adult beverage, personal care, nutrition, and pet care categories, with the Brandjectory twist: we didn’t just want to crown a winner, all applicants get feedback on what resonated for investors and what needs work, to help founders learn, adjust, and improve their chances to secure funding in any venue.

A massive THANK YOU to Tetra Pak who sponsored this year’s Pitch Slam along with over 30 wonderful sponsors who collectively offered over $250,000 in cash and prizes to our finalists.

Supporting the event was a community of CPG investors and industry experts serving as selection committee members, pitch mentors, and event judges.

We appreciate everyone who attended our second annual Pitch Slam and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
