Naturally San Diego Announces Emerging Brand Finalists For 4th Annual Pitch Slam

Naturally San Diego, a nonprofit organization dedicated to stimulating growth and entrepreneurship amongst environmentally and socially-conscious consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies in San Diego County, is thrilled to announce the five finalists of its Fourth Annual Pitch Slam.

On April 25th, Naturally San Diego’s five emerging brand finalists will compete head-to-head in front of a panel of industry-expert judges and local audience members, with entrepreneurs from each company taking the stage.

One brand will come out on top as voted on by the panel, winning a suite of prizes from the local San Diego community to help propel their company’s growth.

With more than $150k worth of prizes awarded to date, these San Diego brands are being set up for success by Pitch Slam and Naturally San Diego to take their companies to the next level.

This year’s Naturally San Diego Pitch Slam finalists include:

  • BAM – deliciously creamy, slightly nutty, gluten and dairy-free plant-based milk.

  • Loli’s – sauces, dips and dressings that give you everything you need for gut health.

  • Madly Hadley – delicious plant-based organic coconut bacon and cashew parmesan.

  • Mesa de Vida – chef-crafted, globally-inspired meal starter sauces.

  • Sipwell – premium, sustainable canned wine with a can-do spirit.
