Thanks for the feedback! You certainly can google co-packers and call them yourself - however, we make it a whole lot easier for everyone involved - we take care of food safety paperwork, verify manufacturers, allow you to compare copacker offers, provide a systematic way of communicating what you are making, and allow you to make payments online--among several other services.

I would say that no part of launching a new food or beverage product is easy, including contract manufacturing. We have heard too many horror stories of shady co-packers running away with peoples money, or faking their paperwork, or just being disorganized. We will be building more tools and partnering with other businesses to help brands with the other aspects of launching a new food brand - this is only the start.

Yeah sorry this was not intended as feedback about the product - although if I were to give you a bit of strategy advice it’s this - if you want your customers to succeed, focus on creating truly valuable training and lessons around marketing. You’ve made it easy to get the product, their job is to get customers. Help them do that with quality content marketing about marketing the products you help them produce.
