“That ability to scale our production volume and take advantage of new opportunities sales-wise and marketing-wise is definitely an exciting milestone for us,” Bank said. “Hopefully with the support of the Lighthouse network and mentors, we’ll get some support as we step into that momentum.” Last week during Meet the Founders, Batch 18 learned more about Absurd Snacks and their journey. Here's a great interview about them in Richmond BizSense. https://lnkd.in/eSB_G-JK

During Week 2, our founders had the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a phenomenal lineup of mentors. Each conversation brought fresh perspectives, industry insights, and actionable advice across key areas like marketing, cybersecurity, and pricing strategies. Founders walked away with specific next steps and new strategies, but more importantly, meaningful relationships with mentors who are excited to support their growth journey. A special thanks to our mentors for sharing their time and expertise—it’s clear these connections are already making a big impact.
