The consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry in Texas has gained a new centralized support system with the official launch of TexasCPG, a non-profit organization designed to unify and accelerate the state’s CPG ecosystem. Announced today, TexasCPG acts as a hub for startups, offering connectivity and resources to help them scale in a competitive global market. By providing a comprehensive suite of online resources and a unified statewide event calendar, the organization aims to bridge geographical gaps between Texas’s major metros, fostering collaboration among founders, investors, and service providers.
TexasCPG is governed by a distinguished Board of Directors representing the state’s primary innovation hubs, including Marc Nathan (Austin), Matthew Gase (Austin), Max Kunik (Austin), Kira Heizer (San Antonio), Michelle Breyer (Austin), Tim DeSilva (Houston), Derek Ramos (Dallas), and Andrew Anguiano (San Antonio). This diverse leadership team brings decades of collective experience in brand building, venture capital, and community architecture. According to the founding board, “Texas has become one of the most significant launchpads for CPG brands in the country. TexasCPG was created to ensure that every founder in the state, regardless of their city, has immediate access to the mentorship, capital, and talent needed to build a category-leading company.”
The launch comes at a time when Texas is experiencing significant growth in the CPG sector, with startups emerging in cities like Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. TexasCPG’s centralized platform allows founders to discover and post upcoming statewide events and access expert-led educational content. Looking ahead, the organization plans to expand its digital infrastructure with the launch of a specialized industry job board to streamline talent acquisition for growing brands. This initiative is expected to further strengthen the state’s position as a top-tier destination for consumer-facing innovation.
TexasCPG’s focus on community-led growth positions it to become the primary voice for the CPG sector in Texas. By offering a unified platform, the organization helps eliminate the fragmentation that often hinders collaboration across the state’s vast geography.
