George Bryson
Entrepreneur, Growth Strategist, Startup Advisor
Over the past two decades, I have built and scaled businesses in the CPG sector. I have led go-to-market strategies and commercialization activations for brands like FIJI Water, Recover 180, and Wild Poppy, securing millions in funding and expanding distribution to thousands of stores nationwide.
In recent years, I've shifted my focus to coaching and consulting. I've heard pitches from hundreds of founders and guided dozens through their growth journeys, helping them navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses.
One key lesson stands out: building a startup doesn’t have to be a gamble. While there is always some level of uncertainty, proven strategies exist to significantly increase your odds of success.
In this course, I will share the collective wisdom I’ve gathered from a community of successful entrepreneurs. I will provide actionable strategies that have been tested in real-world scenarios, helping you secure funding and expand your distribution.
As an advisor at SKU, the leading CPG accelerator, I have led investor relations and supported numerous founders. I have witnessed their challenges and successes, and I have learned from their experiences.
My mission is to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs with this practical knowledge. Join me, and let’s transform your approach from "startup gambling" to strategic business building in just 30 days. Together, we will implement proven strategies that can turn your vision into a thriving reality.
