TexasCPG officially launched today as a non-profit organization dedicated to unifying and accelerating the consumer packaged goods (CPG) ecosystem in Texas. The organization aims to serve as a central hub for startups, providing connectivity and resources to help them scale in a competitive global market. By offering a comprehensive suite of online resources and a unified statewide event calendar, TexasCPG seeks to bridge geographical gaps between Texas’s major metropolitan areas, fostering a collaborative environment where founders, investors, and service providers can thrive together.
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. "Texas has become one of the most significant launchpads for CPG brands in the country," said the founding board. "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."
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.
