Platform aims to tackle barriers for BIPOC food businesses

Entrepreneur Jordan Buckner launched Foodbevy.com as a way to streamline networking between BIPOC food brand founders and industry leaders, partners and retailers, noting that sometimes success in the industry depends on who you know.”One thing I hope continues is that people want to support BIPOC- and women-owned companies, but that one day hopefully in the near future we won’t have to highlight the race or gender of the founder just because the diversity will be built into the industry already, and we can just see and talk about the great products that exist because everyone has an equal opportunity,” he says.
