“Participating in the Retail Incubator program has been an invaluable experience for our brand. Working with Eve and her team has been an absolute pleasure. Their transparency and clarity throughout the selection process, as well as their insights into flavor, distribution, and timing, allowed us to prepare thoroughly and understand exactly what the program would involve. We highly recommend the Retail Incubator program for any brand looking to elevate their presence and expand their reach.”

“I am so excited to having been contacted by Compass whose interest is my cookies, supporting my business, a DisabilityIN owned company whose initiative is hiring people with challenges in the disability community. Thank you Compass for seeing me, hearing my story and wanting to support me and the mission. Compass has been amazing walking me through all the steps to scale up my company to be able to manage a big order from them, the biggest I have ever taken, and checking in on me every few weeks to see if all is going well and making sure I am managing well. I hope to have Compass as a forever customer!”
