The Texas consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry gains a dedicated support system with the official launch of TexasCPG, a non-profit organization designed to act as a central hub for startups across the Lone Star State. By offering a comprehensive suite of online resources and a unified statewide event calendar, TexasCPG aims to bridge the geographical gaps between Texas’s major metros, fostering a collaborative environment where founders, investors, and service providers can thrive together.
Texas has emerged as a significant launchpad for CPG brands, and TexasCPG was created to ensure that every founder in the state, regardless of their city, has immediate access to the mentorship, capital, and talent needed to build a category-leading company. The organization is governed by a distinguished Board of Directors representing the state’s primary innovation hubs, including Marc Nathan (Austin), Matthew Gase (Austin), Max Kunik (Austin), Kira Heizer (San Antonio), Michelle Breyer (Austin), Tim DeSilva (Houston), Derek Ramos (Dallas), and Andrew Anguiano (San Antonio). This diverse leadership team brings decades of collective experience in brand building, venture capital, and community architecture.
Looking toward the future, TexasCPG plans to expand its digital infrastructure with the launch of a specialized industry job board to streamline talent acquisition for growing brands. For now, the organization is inviting founders, investors, and industry stakeholders to engage with its centralized platform to discover and post upcoming statewide events and expert-led educational content. With its focus on community-led growth, TexasCPG is positioned to become the primary voice for the CPG sector in Texas, further cementing the state's reputation as a top-tier destination for consumer-facing innovation.
