Food Entrepreneur NEW YORK — FoodFutureCo, a scale-up accelerator, has named a new cohort of companies to participate in its program.

Participants receive an investment of up to $10,000 in addition to ongoing mentorship and access to resources across business strategy and vision, branding and marketing, growth and scale, buyer meetings, operations and logistics, culture and team, governance and legal and financing. Cohort companies also may receive a follow-on investment after the six-month program period.

“We are very excited to kick off our tenth cohort and welcome the newest members to FFC’s growing community,” said Shen Tong, managing partner of FoodFutureCo. “Likewise, our impact investors continue to look forward and see how far these mission-driven founders are going to take their companies, as several of our portfolio companies are doing today.”

Companies participating in the latest cohort include KombuchaTown, a producer of organic kombucha; Vegan Sunday Supper, a maker of frozen plant-based Italian food; and VGANG, a digital warehouse and dropshipping platform for ethically sourced and sustainable products.

FoodFutureCo is accepting applications for its next cohort. To be considered, companies must have an annual revenue of $500,000 and provide unique products and solutions across the food system. Founders may apply through July 31 at foodfuture.co.

Patrick Mateer, founder and chief executive officer of Seal the Seasons, credited his company’s involvement in the accelerator program for providing “an advantage with customers, investors and strategic partners.”

“They grew our team’s industry expertise and mentor network, all while giving us a bigger voice in the good food movement,” Mr. Mateer added.
