NOSH Live Pitch Slam: Meet the Judges, Meet the Brands

The NOSH Live Pitch Slam adds a layer of suspense and competition to the strategic discussion and networking taking place throughout the day.

The contest pits five emerging entrepreneurial brands against one another in a business plan competition and taste-off in front of experienced judges, allowing the audience to glimpse the emerging brand environment and hear real-time feedback that can help all companies develop.

In addition to the honor and attention that comes from winning the event — past winners include fast growing companies Yumami and Bronx Hot Sauce — the winners will receive $5000 from sponsor ADM.

Judges for this edition of the pitch slam are drawn from the top of the investing, retailing, and brand development fields. They are:

David Baram, Co-Founder and Managing Director, VMG Partners

Greg Fleishman, COO and Co-Founder, Foodstirs

Josh Resnik, CEO, Twin Cities Co-Op Partners

Stephanie Edgecombe, Brand Manager, Food Marketing, ADM

The brands competing in this third edition of the NOSH Live Pitch Slam include:

TRIBALÍ Foods: Paleo-Friendly, Mindfully Raised Beef and Chicken Burgers and Patties

One Culture Foods: Globally Based Dips and Marinades

Funny Farm: Goat Cheese Popcorn from a small women/employee owned company

Dream Pops: A futuristic, design-forward lifestyle brand of better-for-you, plant-based desserts

Go Roam Free: Hickory smoked bison meat. Made from 100% grass-fed bison. Always sugar-free.

We look forward to seeing you at NOSH Live on Thursday, Nov. 30 at the Loews Santa Monica Hotel. Limited registration for the event is still available.
