Will you be in Austin on March 11th? We're doing a LIVE @ConsumerVC podcast interview. Excited to chat with George Milton & Erin Link, founders of @YellowbirdSauce Yellowbird produces some of the most delicious hot sauces I've ever tried. And has become a tradition to send my dad a pack for the holidays. You can find their sauces across the U.S. in Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger and other grocery stores. We're going to talk about how they got there – everything from how they perfected their recipes, first got into retail, raised capital, financed growth, expanded to new accounts...and where they are headed. Join us and thank you to Marc Nathan & Funded House for hosting us. Link to RSVP – lu.ma/ifcwryo9
