Digital Grass Innovation and Technology has announced that applications are now open for the Junction Halls Food and Beverage Success Incubator. This free 6-week program will provide comprehensive mentoring programs and marketing support for established food-based businesses, restaurants that have struggled during COVID-19, and entrepreneurs with a great food/beverage concept. The founders of Digital Grass, who manage the “GROW” CEO Space powered by the Pompano Beach CRA, have assembled a seasoned team of restaurant owners, restaurant consultants, marketing experts and business consultants to coordinate the incubator which launches January 19, 2021. Applications are available at https://junctionhalls.com/incubator/.
“The restaurant industry has faced tremendous disruption since COVID-19; however, innovative entrepreneurs have been reinventing their businesses and discovering new paths to success within the food and beverage industry,” said Michael Hall, CEO and co-founder of Digital Grass. “But navigating this process can be difficult without support. That is why we established this food and beverage incubator to provide the essential multidisciplinary guidance that is essential for success.”
The Junction Halls Food and Beverage Success Incubator is supported by a grant from the Knight Foundation. The free six-week program features twelve sessions that will be held January 19 as a virtual program. The virtual sessions include group sessions, one-on-one mentoring sessions with restaurant and marketing professions. Junction Halls / GROW is taking 15 applicants for this session.
