Help us welcome the 2022 M/O Fellows!
A big congratulations and welcome to the first nationwide cohort of the M/O (Minority-Owned) Fellowship, a 12-week program that supports the success of racially and ethnically underrepresented business entrepreneurs in the organic and natural sector. We are grateful to our partner NielsenIQ for making this fellowship possible!
Our 16 brands + leaders kicked off the Fellowship this week, we were so happy to meet them all virtually. Learn more about each of the amazing brands by clicking the images below:
The M/O Fellowship offers education, access to experts, and community connection. Fellows will participate in four hands-on learning modules: startup operations and financial literacy, making your product, selling your product, and building a business that lasts.
Education is only one part of the Fellowship, we believe that connection and building a community are integral aspects to future success. To support that connection, we pair Fellows for the duration of the program, help them build relationships with advisers for insight and support, and facilitate access to industry leaders for candid conversations about their journey, and their learnings and insights on the way to success.
