Our Purpose

Branchfood facilitates the connections that make food innovation possible, serving as the premier resource for food entrepreneurship by supporting founders’ visions and their efforts to affect environment and sustainability, better health outcomes, and food supply chain efficiency. We achieve this by uniting the community of entrepreneurs, mentors, advisors, investors, industry professionals, and mission-driven organizations passionate about food by providing workspace, educational resources, and networking events. Branchfood seeks funding to support entrepreneurial communities that impact our global food system, making it more equitable, accessible, and sustainable.  Given the recent COVID-19 impact on the food industry, we've refocused our efforts to support food entrepreneurs through this difficult time launching Serving Up Support, a daily series helping entrepreneurs cope with various aspects of managing their food business through this crisis; Serving Up Support weekly newsletter roundup of articles on the impact of COVID on the food industry globally, and Branch Fuel Packs which are snack packs going to frontline medical workers working in COVID wards around Boston, MA. We've also been keeping resource lists including financial resources, food initiatives, and personal health guidelines on our blog.
