Over 80% of all newly launched food businesses fail within 5 years.
Of these, 43% never achieve Product Market Fit, i.e they don’t solve a consumer problem, resulting in few sales.
Our Go To Market Plans identify problems and pitfalls before they become expensive mistakes and allow you to fine-tune or, if needed, pivot your business.
In our opinion, it is the single most important investment you should make when starting a food business.
