Our signature gift set, The Equity Box, is again the main driver for the 3rd Year of the 100K Accelerator Program. The Program goal is to propel the growth of small, emerging brands, especially those from makers of color, by boosting their sales beyond the 100K revenue level and equipping them with data and market networks nationally.
Each year, we work with numerous new brands and products for The Equity Box, while highlighting specific anchor brands, who have been with us from the beginning - those who either launched from our brick-and-mortar store or joined us early on to reach the multiple retail networks.
We believe that authentic equity and inclusion in the small business support infrastructure means enabling the real small and emerging brands to thrive, lead, and innovate, because there is where we find many businesses owned by those who have been traditionally marginalized.
As always, we need your support to reach these goals. Learn more below and order your boxes. Let us provide you the nourishment you need for meetings, conferences and other gatherings.

Kayla (left) opened Seasoned to test a new grocery approach called co-retail that has potential to bring equity into the local food system. The approach allows the retailer to create a supportive environment for small food producers and give a high percentage, if not all, of the proceeds back to them, to bolster their entry and growth in the marketplace. Kayla is herself a small producer of Asian broth and meal kits.
