Peek into the future of the beverage industry by watching startup brands pitch their products at BevNET’s New Beverage Showdown, taking place during BevNET Live on December 4 + 5 in Marina del Rey, CA.
The competition provides a platform for entrepreneurs leading startup beverage brands to showcase their innovations. On Day 1 of BevNET Live, 12 semifinalists will present rapid-fire pitches to a panel of expert judges. On Day 2, the 6 chosen finalists will then give their last pitch and the judges will select the winner, who will receive an advertising package valued at $10,000. Past judges include executives from leading companies such as KeHE Distributors, Verlinvest, Whole Foods, Kroger, Albertsons, ACG, First Beverage Group, AccelFoods, and Powerplant Ventures.
Between the in-person audience and those tuning into the livestream on BevNET.com, the competition typically draws thousands of investors, retailers, suppliers, service providers, and fellow brands. The New Beverage Showdown has supported the rise of past competitors such as Agua Bonita, Health-Ade Kombucha, Parch, Plink, Rise Brewing Co., MALK, Sans, Hoplark, Poppi, Liquid Death, Vive Organic, Three Trees, Sunwink, Shaka Tea, and Remedy Organics.
