Learn How to Grow From DTC to Retail in 3 Days
On August 2-5 Rodeo CPG and Indie CPG teamed up again with an all-star group of 30+ mentors to teach DTC-first brands how to make the jump to retail. Some of the topics we’ll be exploring at camp include bridging retail & DTC, execution in-store, team & KPIs, market research, consumer insights, retail marketing, operations, the cost of expansion, and working capital for creating new inventory.

Who Can Join Cart Camp?
Founders and senior operators of Food & Beverage brands that first launched DTC and now want to learn retail 101 together. We want our campers to be as diverse as possible across race, gender, cities, global flavors, and grocery aisles. Ideally your brand is either selling in local or regional retailers, or you’re planning your first expansion into retail for 2023. Cart Camp is designed to be a safe, inclusive space to ask all the retail questions you’ve been too afraid to ask or need help with.
