Naturally Rising: San Diego’s Spotlight on Sustainable Startups

The Naturally Rising Competition returns for its fifth year, and it’s shaping up to be a can’t-miss event for anyone passionate about San Diego’s natural products scene. Naturally, San Diego will bring the city’s most promising sustainable brands to the spotlight at Building 177 in Liberty Station.

Celebrating San Diego’s Most Purpose-Driven Brands

This year’s Naturally Rising finalists are leading the charge in innovation, clean ingredients, and social impact. Get ready to meet:

• Chasin’ Dreams Farm – Addictive sorghum puffs made without corn, gluten, or artificial anything
• Fierce & Kind – Bold, small-batch spirits that give back 25% of profits to underrepresented communities
• Mooski Snacks – Soft, chilled oat bars with clean ingredients and a refreshingly real taste
• Nonaste – Deep-cleaning gear detergents for active lifestyles
• Recoup Beverage – Gut-friendly sparkling drinks packed with prebiotics, ginger, and electrolytes

These Naturally Rising Competition finalists will pitch live to a panel of expert judges for a prize package designed to accelerate their growth—with over $150,000 awarded to date.

More Than Just a Pitch Competition

Expect a vibrant evening of community and connection with 350+ founders, investors, and foodies.
