ACC is proud to announce our partnership with SKU‘s DFW track!


SKU was founded in 2011 by lawyer Shari Wynne Ressler and serial entrepreneur Clayton Christopher, founder of Sweet Leaf Tea and Deep Eddy Vodka, with the mission of accelerating CPGs. It has been a catalyst in establishing Austin as a CPG powerhouse. SKU is the nation’s first CPG accelerator, with such alumni as Siete Family Foods, EPIC Provisions and Seaweed Bath Co. Since it was founded, more than 60 companies have completed the SKU track – A 2016 Forbes magazine column called SKU one of the nation’s top three accelerators.


In fall ’19, SKU partnered with BeyondBrands to launch BeyondSKU in New York. In August ’20, SKU partnered with FINNOVATION Lab, General Mills‘ 301 INC and The Stable to launch ImpactSKU – an accelerator for purpose-driven CPGs – in the Twin Cities.
