Sounds Familiar?
you have a great product. getting it onto a retail shelf feels like a completely different game.
You are not alone. These are the thoughts most food founders have at 11pm when they cannot sleep.
“I think I am ready for retail but I honestly don’t know what a buyer needs to see from me.”
“I don’t know if my shelf life would hold up if a retailer asked for documentation.”
“I have clean-label claims I want to make but I don’t know if my label is actually compliant.”
“I’m trying to figure out co-mans, labels, pricing, and pitching all at the same time, alone.”

Hello!Jacinta
Food Scientist. Founder, CAMA R&D Consulting. 12 +years in the food industry. 5 years with food founders
I help better-for-you food founders structure their products to scale — aligning formulation, packaging, and manufacturing so they can get onto retail shelves and protect their margins when they get there. The ETS Method and the Hub were built from 12 years inside the food industry and 5 years watching founders struggle with gaps that are completely fixable — once someone shows them where to look.
Questions
-
The Hub is open to all food founders preparing to scale their product toward retail. The content, community, and live Q&As are especially valuable for better-for-you, clean-label, and natural food brands preparing for natural and specialty grocery retail — but any food founder with a serious goal of getting onto retail shelves will find real value here.
-
You do not have to — but it is strongly recommended. Your quiz result maps directly to Hub content and gives you a personal roadmap of which modules to start with. Without it you can still access everything, but with it you know exactly where to focus first.
-
The Hub is designed for busy founders. The on-demand content can be consumed in 30-minute sessions. The monthly live Q&A is one hour. Community participation is entirely at your own pace. Most members spend 1–2 hours per week and see meaningful progress within their first month. -
If you join and genuinely feel the Hub is not the right fit, reach out within the first 14 days and I will make it right. The founding member rate reflects trust — and trust works both ways.
