The Food Foundry: Londons first Co-Working Kitchen Incubator to Open
LONDON’S INCUBATOR FOR FOOD STARTUPS
The Food Foundry is UK’s first food startup incubator to provide a complete ‘Concept to Shelf’ solution for new food businesses. We exist to lower the barriers to entry for food businesses, and that includes providing more affordable access to commercial kitchen space.
MEMBER BENEFITS
We provide a co-working kitchen facility in Hackney, London (E2 9EZ) where food businesses can work amongst each other, sharing knowledge, skills and building a culture defined by food.
Members of The Food Foundry benefit from:
- Access to SALSA/HACCP/BRC kitchen space that’s available 24/7
- Shelf space for member products with partner concessions and sales opportunities
- Continuous support through a structured programme of workshops and mentorship
- Access to business services, networks of industry specialists and retail buyer contacts
- Warm introductions to retail buyers through events & partners
- Co-working in a collaborative and innovative community of likeminded food startups
A LIFETIME OF SUPPORT
Unlike other incubators, The Food Foundry doesn’t take any equity at the outset, and members are encouraged to use the kitchen and member services for as long as they need. The Food Foundry aligns itself with the needs of it’s members so that all companies grow together, building a community around food.
