The Nosh team is headed to L.A. next week for two days of conversations, insights and inspiration with many founders, operators, investors and changemakers shaping the future of packaged food.

Nosh Live 2025 is happening at a moment when this industry is moving faster – and in more directions – than ever before. 

• Consumers are redefining wellness by the week, retail channels are shifting beneath our feet, capital is tightening and transforming, and brands are facing unprecedented challenges. 
• Our program is packed with perspectives from leaders who are navigating these pressures with creativity, grit and a willingness to rethink what’s possible.

We are kicking off the event with Jeff Rubenstein, CEO of Khloud Foods, who will share how to build the foundations for hypergrowth – because if anyone understands the velocity of modern brand-building, it’s a team moving at Khloé Kardashian-level speed. 

Then, we’ll zoom out for a clear-eyed look at the state of startup funding, where our panel of investors will break down what’s really driving dealmaking decisions in 2026 and beyond.

Throughout the two days we will hear from the founders of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Actual Veggies, Archer, Daily Crunch, Luke’s Lobster, Primal Kitchen and others on resilience and reinvention, breakout growth, retail channel strategy, marketing tactics and more. 

Attendees will also receive an inside track on securing shelf space at CVS and Walmart stores and will gain an understanding of how these massive retailers are supporting emerging brands seeking to expand in the mainstream market.

Beyond the stage, an intimate environment and one-to-one networking opportunities foster meaningful connections and lasting momentum for food brands.

In the long-tail consumer environment, it’s good to own a story – just as an appearance on “Shark Tank” or a key media hit during a sporting event can be a catalyzing event for a brand. 

Noah Chaimberg, founder and CEO of Heatonist, will discuss the hot sauce retailer's partnership with hit YouTube show “Hot Ones,” the ways he evaluates candidates for the show, as well as discussing the opportunities that accompany the attention that have come for those brands – and his own.

It’s a sneak peek into a fascinating niche, as well as a case study in how brands can find propulsion from within the strangest of places, if you look at them right.
