Industry incubation A lot goes into starting a company—time, capital, resources. For a natural products entrepreneur, this can get overwhelming, fast. Most want to get their products on retail shelves, but the path to shelf isn’t often paved. In the past few years, a groundswell of accelerator and incubator programs have sprouted up across the country to help make the path a bit smoother for innovative brands. From big food companies to small, regional organizations, these helpers provide relevant resources and relationships to foster retail viability.
