Food & Beverage Trends: Top Tips and Strategies
The 2020 Marcum Food & Beverage Summit brings together the best and brightest in our field – food and beverage executives gathering with others in the industry for an evening of networking and vital information.

Innovative Emerging Company Sponsor
Rosenthal & Rosenthal
Rosenthal is the largest privately held factor and finance company in the United States. But that’s not the only thing that makes us unique.
We are a family business and always have been. In 1938, our grandfather, Imre J. Rosenthal, established Rosenthal & Rosenthal. His perspective on lending was fairly radical at the time. He chose to focus primarily on financing businesses that, for a variety of reasons, were not able to secure funding from big banks or more traditional lending institutions. Imre was open-minded, creative and always supportive. He had the utmost confidence in his clients and in their dreams and took a personal interest in helping them pursue opportunities within their reach.
Our services include asset based lending, factoring, purchase order financing, and e-commerce (direct-to-consumer) lending.
Rosenthal is a friendly participant with banks, investment banks, hedge funds, private equity firms, law firms, accounting firms, BDC’s, turnaround firms and other alternative lenders.
Nominees
Just Date Syrup
Just Date makes the first whole food sugar that requires no sacrifice. Our doctor-led, women-owned team is improving the way people consume sugar, by offering delicious, low-glycemic, and nutrient-dense sweeteners. Our mission is to educate people about the harmful effects of artificial and unhealthy sugar options, so they can make sweeter decisions for their long term health. Our first line of products includes an organic California medjool date syrup and California pomegranate syrup, used for everything from everyday sweetness and baking to cocktails and marinades. And – we’re just getting started on our quest to create tasty, trustworthy alternatives to all of your favorite sweets.
PetitPot
Back in 2014, while trying to find the perfect dessert to go with dinner, Maxime saw something was missing on American grocery store shelves: Pot de Crème! Though a traditional dessert in France, this sweet, creamy pudding is relatively unknown in America. As a fan of all things sweet Maxime knew he had to fix this, and so he started Petit Pot in San Francisco to bring not only Pot de Crème but a whole line of delicious desserts to satisfy any American sweet tooth. Maxime combined his knowledge of French pastries with California’s quality cuisine market to produce authentic French desserts the way they’re meant to be enjoyed: with a smile.
Renewal Mill
Renewal Mill is a next-generation ingredients company that upcycles the byproducts of food manufacturing into premium ingredients and products. We provide manufacturers with a complete solution that offers financial returns & eliminates disposal headaches. Our initial ingredient is okara flour, a high fiber, high protein gluten free flour made from the byproduct of soymilk production. Starting with okara, we’re creating a new circular economy of food that reduces waste and provides nutrition and taste to today’s conscious consumer.
Slingshot Foods
It’s time to face the facts. Mornings are kind of terrible. We’re not trying to be overly harsh to the Ante Meridian. It’s just that our relationship has suffered over the years. This is why in 2014, we set out to fix breakfast and created Rise; a complete, nourishing breakfast that tastes amazing to help you crush your busy morning. Slingshot Rise is a high protein drinkable yogurt with a crunchy shot of oat, almonds and chia seeds. Loaded up with real, natural, power-packed superfoods and easy to grab as you run out the door. Think of it as “couples counseling” for you and your morning.
Tia Lupita
Tia Lupita® delivers Mexican-inspired foods crafted with authentic, simple ingredients and a whole lot of love. Our mission is to bring our delicious family recipes like our line of hot sauces, cactus tortillas and cactus & cassava totopos from Tia’s kitchen to yours. Tia Lupita® uses better for you, healthy ingredients like Cactus (Nopal). Each organic Nopal Cactus is sourced from the highlands of the East Sierra Madre ridge in North East Mexico. All of our products are Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free and 100% plant based. We make them just like Tia, with only the best ingredients, so you can experience a true taste of Mexico.
