the 5th annual Real California Milk Excelerator final pitch event RECAP
On November 16, we held the 5th Annual Real California Milk Excelerator Final Pitch Event held at Casa Real, Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton, CA!
This year's event brought together startups, experts, and innovators to celebrate, support, and drive innovation across the dairy industry. Attendees tasted and tested the latest dairy-based products at a Future of Dairy Expo, gained insights from experts during a panel discussion on the impact of dairy innovations on retail sales and consumer behavior, and witnessed our live pitch competition, where four winners secured $30,000 each, for their groundbreaking dairy innovations.
Plus, we announced this year's Grand Prize winner and Runner Up who took home $100,000 and $25,000, respectively.
