Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) PubTalks, presented by Columbia Bank, are where Oregon’s entrepreneurial energy comes to life.

Every beloved CPG brand has a beginning, but the real story starts long before it ever hits a shelf.

On Wednesday, February 11th join OEN at Tender Loving Empire Headquarters for a panel conversation that dives into the messy, creative, and occasionally chaotic early chapters of building a CPG company.

Local founders will pull back the curtain on what it really took to get started and share how those early small-batch experiments evolved into a product line ready for prime time, and how they navigated the intimidating leap from selling at farmers markets, pop-ups, or online to securing their first wholesale accounts.

Attendees will walk away with an honest look at the earliest days of CPG entrepreneurship and practical lessons they can apply to their own path from “idea” to “in stores.”
