We are excited to announce The Lunch Room is back, this time with a fully funded 5 month cohort valued at $7,500 for 10 non-competing B.C. food and beverage companies in the late emerging / early growth stage of business.
Good to Grow has coached, mentored, and educated over 1,000 businesses at all stages of growth and has experienced first-hand that there is a crucial “in-between” stage where businesses experience make-or-break challenges as well as loneliness and isolation.
A 5 month cohort, with peers in the same stage as you, from November 2024 - March 2025
10 group sessions and two 45 minute 1-on-1 coaching sessions with the Founder for each participant
Participants can identify key areas they need help with in addition to the content we know you need at this stage
Practical and valuable handouts (pitch decks, forecasting templates, marketing budgets, etc.)
Vetted educational content from our Founder's 30+ years of hands-on experience
Key insights from hand-picked seasoned industry guest experts
Support and connections with peers facing similar challenges
Increased leadership skills and multi-market channel readiness
It is crucial for companies at this stage to receive support through expert education, pointed 1-on-1 coaching, and peer-to-peer networking to best prepare their transition into the next growth stage of business.
How do you know if you’re in this stage?
Companies typically in this stage have:
“Participating in The Lunch Room came at the exact moment of monumental transition both for myself and for Kindred. When I joined the cohort, I came in with the perspective of a COO and had to immediately shift my mindset and perspective to that of a CEO. In addition, I had to rapidly expand my knowledge and skill set and I feel The Lunch Room helped me achieve that and supported me along the way through knowledge, networking, resources, peer support and Andrea’s guidance. The support I received throughout the program significantly bolstered my ability to navigate a particularly challenging period in our business.”
“Andrea helped connect me with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Food to support our launch with Fraser Health via GFS. Our one-on-one sessions also pushed me into looking at our brand as a category captain. This program connected me with peers that are facing similar challenges in our industry. Andrea provided great feedback and suggested things that we need to start looking at as a company. She also helped connect us with individuals in the industry.”
