A podcast about building consumer product (CPG) startups. When Haven's Kitchen launched its fresh sauces in grocery stores across the U.S., founder Alison Cayne knew they were jumping into something crazy. In her effort to get educated, she started meeting with everyone she knew and respected who could advise her - from operations and supply chain gurus to brand marketing and social media mavens. Then she started having those conversations as a podcast so that other entrepreneurs can learn from them as well. This is the story of building Haven’s Kitchen. But it’s also the story of every growing business. Because we’re all In the Sauce.

Customer Reviews
CPG incubator in podcast form
I love listening and always recommend this podcast to CPG startups I work with. It’s so informative and interesting! The archive of episodes has answers to most issues they’ll need to tackle!
Authentic
Alison does a great job of breaking down a guest’s insight into actionable tasks she can incorporate into her own business, or at least relate them to. Not a “talking head”, but a conversationalist with other CPG pros helping novices like me find my way.
My favorite podcast!
Ali is so wonderful. She bring amazing guests and is super knowledgeable. I learn a lot about building a business, wish Ali would speak more.
