What Our Members Say

The Naturally Boulder community was vital to scaling the Justin’s organization and with the expansion to Naturally Colorado I’m looking forward to seeing how many other companies and people can benefit from this valuable network.

  • The Ripple Effect explores how a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem creates lasting economic and industry-wide impact.⁠ ⁠ In 2011, Denver founders Matt LaCasse and Lizzi Ackerman set out to make pancakes easier, better, and made with cleaner ingredients. What started with hand-mixed recipes and samples at local farmers markets soon landed on the shelves of Lucky’s Market in Boulder, giving Birch Benders its first major retail opportunity.⁠ ⁠ As the brand grew, Naturally Colorado, formerly Naturally Boulder, helped connect Matt and Lizzi with the people and resources to take their business further. In 2014, Birch Benders became a Naturally Colorado Pitch Slam finalist, strengthening its brand story and opening doors to valuable industry connections. Lizzi also found mentorship through Justin Gold of Justin’s Nut Butter, whose experience helped guide her as a founder.⁠ ⁠ By 2017, Birch Benders had expanded into major retailers including Whole Foods, Kroger, and Target, bringing its innovative pancake mixes to consumers nationwide. The brand’s journey shows how early retail opportunities, founder mentorship, and a collaborative community can help turn a local idea into a national business.⁠ ⁠ Read more about the ripple effect this community had on Birch Benders at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ #NaturallyConnected #TheRippleEffect #BirchBenders #ColoradoCPG #NaturalProducts
  • Start your Friday with fresh air and good company.⁠ ⁠ Join Naturally Colorado for a Fall Nature Hike at Davidson Mesa Trailhead.
