Hey all!After applying to pitch at Food Funded 2021, we were invited as semi-finalists to pitch in front of the conference screening committee last Thursday. It went great and yesterday we received some very exciting news. We made the finalist cut and will be pitching from the conference's virtual main stage on July 21!Food Funded is an event where "food entrepreneurs and investors convene for educational sessions and live investor presentations to catalyze investments in our food & ag system." This year's focus is on climate, regenerative practices, and carbon drawdown, making it a perfect opportunity for Mainstem to really shine.So mark your calendars for 7/21 from 10-2pm Pacific Time. Folks can find more info about the virtual conference and register at foodfunded.us/. Oh, and we reworked our pitch a good bit to land a swift, impactful message in 10 minutes (I tried uploading it as images post signature, but that functionality doesn't seem to be working right now). It felt so comfortable to move through and the screening committee must have enjoyed it well enough. Already looking forward to the next round of pitch improvements with help from the Food Funded team.With action,Phil
