Updated: Sep 3, 2021


Fata & Fleishman Mentorship is a free entrepreneurial community support system created by Natural CPG founders Mike Fata and Greg Fleishman who themselves have spent over 20 years starting, ramping, and successfully exiting businesses.

"As founders and investors, we know firsthand what it's like to start a business from scratch, scale, and ultimately get to amazing outcomes," said Greg Fleishman, a CPG investor, founder, CEO, and board director at natural products companies that include Foodstirs, Once Upon a Farm, Lily's Sweets, Nuun, and Suja (all of which recently exited to Hershey's, Nestle, and Paine Schwartz Partners respectively).


One of the resources offered is a Startup Toolbox loaded with the critical information they use operating, investing, and serving on multiple boards.
