Hear from past participants
“I had the pleasure of attending Naturally Colorado’s Office Hours with Kara Janowsky, where we covered taxes for startup CPG companies. Kara’s depth of knowledge on the unique challenges faced by early-stage CPG brands like mine was impressive (and comforting!). She provided practical, actionable advice to help set us up for success, and I left the session feeling more confident about navigating the financial landscape for our growing business. I highly recommend these office hours to any CPG startups looking to get ahead!” – Hilary Nalven, Founder & CEO, Syll Botanics
