Disco Cow Named Grand Prize Winner of Second Annual Midwest Dairy Accelerator
The latest episode of the B-C-Food-Newscast on The-Food-&-Wine-Radio-Network, hosted by Jennifer English, covers the recent victory of Disco Cow, an Illinois-based startup, at the Midwest Dairy Accelerator pitch competition. The competition, a 10-week virtual program led by Midwest Dairy and the innovation advisory firm VentureFuel, supports upcoming food and beverage brands incorporating Midwest dairy as a core component. Colehour's persuasive pitch won Disco Cow a substantial $20,000 grant, which will facilitate its transition from founder-led production to scaled manufacturing. She credited the program with providing a beneficial network of experts and resources. Corey Scott and Fred Schonenberg, CEOs of Midwest Dairy and VentureFuel respectively, acknowledged the entrepreneurial spirit of the dairy industry and the importance of supporting innovation.
