TexasCPG Launches to Unify and Accelerate the Texas Consumer Packaged Goods Ecosystem

A new era of support for the Lone Star State’s booming consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry begins today with the official launch of TexasCPG. As a dedicated non-profit organization, TexasCPG acts as a central hub for startups, offering connectivity and resources to scale in a competitive global market. By offering a comprehensive suite of online resources and a unified statewide event calendar, the organization aims to bridge the geographical gaps between Texas’s major metros, 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."
