Julie Fabricant reposted thisJulie Fabricant reposted thisOne of the fastest growing consumer categories ever: Pouches. And it's not just nicotine. Energy, sleep, cognition, even beauty. Pouches are coming for every functional state. At Founderland we're diving in with the pros to discuss how you can win with this new, explosive format. The thing I'm most excited about with this talk? We have legendary founder Pete Maldonado of Chomps moderating! A guy who knows CPG innovation and billion dollar scale. And understands that this new format is likely to produce a plethora of billion dollar brands. Joining Pete are some of the the folks best positioned to speak on this topic: - Max Cunningham from Sesh Products - Nick MacPhee from Helix & Altria - Scott Woodward from Murphy USA - Stratis Katsiris from Wip Brought to you by the Consumer Capital Network (don't know what this is? I've heard you soon will!) Let's roll!

Julie Fabricant reposted thisJulie Fabricant reposted thisThe strength of Austin’s startup ecosystem comes from organizations, investors and operators showing up for founders at every stage. CTAN member Joseph Liu joined SKU’s Fall 2026 Cohort Kickoff, welcoming seven emerging CPG brands beginning the accelerator’s 12-week program. At CTAN, our members’ involvement extends well beyond our own funding cycles. They mentor founders, share expertise, invest, and stay actively engaged with organizations across Central Texas that are helping entrepreneurs build and scale. Congratulations to the SKU Fall 2026 cohort: BELLYCIOUS, Kaurina’s Kulfi, Magic Milk, ORITA Agave Pop, Singular Care, Twice as Good Hair and WonderPop. Thanks to the SKU team for organizing.

Julie Fabricant reposted thisJulie Fabricant reposted thisThank you to Entrepreneur Media for the coverage and for sharing our vision for Founderland. When we dreamed up Founderland, we thought about what we always wanted as founders and investors: • The best founders and CEOs in one place • Retail decision makers who can change the trajectory of a company • Strategics, collaborative investors and industry thought leaders who genuinely want to partner and grow together • A community built around opening doors, providing access and lifting each other up • An experience helping shape what’s next across the consumer, health and wellness industry Now, in our third year, Founderland will be our most prolific yet. Because one relationship, introduction or opportunity can change the trajectory of a company. Bringing together the people who can make those moments happen, and building an ecosystem where founders, CEOs, retailers, investors and industry leaders can create meaningful value together, is an honor and a privilege. Founderland. October 1st. Malibu, California, at Calamigos Ranch. Built by founders, for founders. ✨ https://lnkd.in/gdxQg8SJ Sean Kelly Shannon Kelly Jon Bier Jonathan Small Founderland.us #foundersThis Festival Gathers 1,000 Founders and Dealmakers to Connect, Pitch and Get Discovered — Getting In Isn't EasyThis Festival Gathers 1,000 Founders and Dealmakers to Connect, Pitch and Get Discovered — Getting In Isn't Easy

Julie Fabricant liked thisJulie Fabricant liked thisSo excited to represent The Vitamin Shoppe at Founderland tomorrow! One of my favorite parts of being a merchant is discovering what’s next, building meaningful partnerships with founders and brands, and bringing great products to our customers. I’m looking forward to hosting The Vitamin Shoppe’s Retail Den session, where I’ll share what makes us unique as a retail partner, what we look for, and what goes into a successful launch and long-term partnership. Thank you to Sean Kelly and the Founderland.us team for inviting me to be part of it! Looking forward to seeing everyone in Malibu! 🌴

Julie Fabricant reacted on thisJulie Fabricant reacted on thisHow can a small VC firm produce Founderland? Easy answer. We don't. My wife Shannon Kelly does. Without her and her team working year-round to build this invite-only, 1,000+ person B2B festival... The Family Fund wouldn't be able to produce anything remotely close to this. We need to spend the far majority of our time investing and helping our PortCo founders win. So when I had the idea for Founderland a few years ago, there was only one reason I wasn't looked at as if I was insane... It's because Shannon is our secret weapon. And prior to running events and experiences at our fund, spent years building Coachella, the Long Beach Grand Prix, Outside Lands and other scintillating shows. Sure, Josh Wand and I need to get the right people to the event...and that matters immensely... But the majority of the credit for what Founderland has become belongs to Shannon and her team. You're incredible Shannon. I'm honored to be your partner in more ways than one. Thank you from all of us at The Family Fund. Let's roll!
