For most founders, it's A: fear of failure. But here's the thing: you'll never know what could have been unless you take the leap. Every founder we've worked with has felt this way at some point, but they took the chance and made it happen. 🚀

Unfortunately, approximately 85% of new consumer packaged food products fail within the first two years. Why?

It often comes down to the lack of solid planning at the outset. Without thorough market research, a robust business model, and detailed financial planning, many products struggle to find their footing.

How to avoid this:

🔍 Understand Your Market: If you don’t dive deep into market research, you might not fully grasp your accurate customer profile or what problems you need to solve for them. This intel is the framework to build upon.

📈 Build a Strong Business Model: Think of your business model as your game plan. It lays out where your money will come from, what costs to anticipate, and how your product delivers unique value. Without this, you’re navigating blindly.

💰Plan Your Finances: Proper budgeting and forecasting are essential. If you mismanage your finances, you could face early setbacks that drain your resources, delay your growth and worst case lose a lot of money before you even begin.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to go it alone. Our upcoming Value+d program is a close knit community that provides the support, guidance and resources you need to turn your Value+d dream into reality - methodically with experts.
