Track 5

Meet the BeyondSKU Track 5 Cohort: The Next Wave of CPG Trailblazers

The BeyondCPG accelerator continues to fuel the next generation of emerging conscious consumer brands, and Track 5 was no exception. With a focus on mission-driven, innovative, and high-growth potential brands, this cohort represented the best of what’s next in the CPG space.

Over an intensive 12-week program, these founders gained access to top-tier industry mentors, hands-on workshops, and strategic guidance in branding, sales, marketing, operations, and fundraising—all culminating in a powerful showcase of their growth and potential.

The BeyondSKU Track 5 Brands

Cleo+Coco: When Suzannah Raff was pregnant, she became extra mindful of the ingredients in her personal care products. Partnering with top clean beauty chemists, she created Cleo+Coco—an award-winning, woman-owned brand offering effective, vegan, and cruelty-free deodorants and body care that smell and work incredibly well.  

Culiraw: Founder Silvia Vidova’s search for healthier desserts led to Culiraw, a brand crafting plant-based cheesecakes, cookies, and snacks. Each treat is handmade with organic, all-natural ingredients—free from artificial flavorings and preservatives—so you can indulge guilt-free.  

Tigo Tequila Cocktails: Founded by Geoff Harris and Anita Parikh, Tigo is the first premium canned Reposado tequila cocktail made with 100% Tequila and natural, locally sourced ingredients. Designed for true connoisseurs, Tigo elevates ready-to-drink cocktails with authentic flavors and a sophisticated experience.  

Growee Foods: Inspired by founder Aman Blana’s Indian heritage, Growee Foods is redefining the dip and salsa aisle with globally inspired, veggie-packed dips. Made with bold spices and wholesome ingredients, Growee delivers fresh flavors that bridge tradition and modern convenience.  

Lola Snacks: Mary Molina founded Lola Snacks to create the first pre + probiotic granola bars that support gut health with clean ingredients and adaptogens. Born in her kitchen during a challenging time, her bars outperform kombucha and yogurt, offering the fuel needed to power through the day.
