YF's Starter Programme takes early-stage food and drink founders to their first £20k month in sales.
Weekly advisory sessions, guest founders from brands like PerfectTed and SURI, a knowledge bank you can use any time, and a private network of founders going through the same thing.
The programme is subsidised by YF and packs in more than £30,000 of value for £5,000+VAT. Members also get 10% off YF's sales and supply chain services and 20% off GS1 UK membership.
Apply before 30 September and you will have exclusive access to our Buyers Feedback Forum on 22 October. You sit with your product and buyers rotate around, telling you honestly what they think of the taste, the packaging and what would have stopped them buying it. Founders rarely get feedback this direct.
Buyers from Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Ocado, with more to be announced. This is the last cohort of 2026 and the only one that gets in the room.
