About the event
We’re excited to provide an exclusive preview of the SFMade Learning Lab—a new initiative designed to help Bay Area manufacturers grow through retail.
Before we launch the program more broadly, we’re bringing together a small group of manufacturers to share what we’re building, gather feedback, and shape the first pilot cohort.
This session may be especially valuable if you:
Are an emerging Bay Area manufacturer ready for your next stage of growth.
Want to build a stronger retail growth strategy.
Are currently selling through one or more channels, such as pop-ups, farmers markets, online, or local retailers.
Are looking for practical tools, expert guidance, and real customer insights to help grow your business.
During the webinar, we’ll introduce the vision for the SFMade Storefront and Learning Lab, share how the program is designed to support manufacturers, walk through the proposed curriculum and timeline, and invite your feedback as we refine the pilot.
Because this is an early preview, we’re intentionally keeping the group small. We’d love to hear your perspective and explore how this program can best serve Bay Area manufacturers.
